I am able to help clients: * work through feelings of depression and anxiety to feel happiness, relief and peace * resolve conflict in relationships developing effective ways to communicate with their children/spouses/parents * work through feelings of anger, grief or sadness * learn coping skills to help with life stressors.
As a therapist, I can provide a safe environment that is free from judgement; listen to clients with compassion and understanding and be an objective person for you to talk with. I tend to suggest strategies or coping skills that may be effective for your personal situation; help you assess the skills to determine if they were effective and work with you to refine the skills or try another approach. It is my goal for you to feel better and to reach your personal goals.

I like to solve problems. I use a strength-based, Imago couples trained, family systems approach. I focus on reducing relationship conflict, improving communication, and developing closeness for individuals, couples, and families. I am skilled in making positive changes happen. I lanched WellnessRI because I believe integral to a caring approach is coordinating with other medication and counseling providers in the practice.

My areas of focus are anxiety, anger management and trauma.
Welcome! I’m Fray (like French fry). I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist dedicated to supporting others through unforeseen challenges in their lives. I’m often described as a warm, charismatic, and love to use laughter and humor to connect. As a young girl, I used to frequently witness my mother experience “ataque de nervios” which translates to “attack of the nerves”. In witnessing these events, I knew from an early age that I wanted to better understand what she was going through and to help support others through challenges they may not fully understand.

Some have survived abuse, loss or trauma, while others struggle with addiction or depression. Still others search to quiet anxiety, insecurities or negative thoughts. If you have been feeling a 'dis-connect', whether from yourself or others, and are willing to explore some of the unkind inner thoughts and feelings you may be having about who you are and/or who you think you should be, then I'm confident I can be of help.

Anger Management Therapists

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
