I work with individual and group counseling for anxiety, anger management, career counseling, depression, grief, infertility, pre-marital counseling and couple counseling.
I am a firm believer that life is a journey and not a destination. Sometimes on this journey of life, we will encounter experiences that we need to walk through and not run through. It's a fact that challenges are apart of our lives. Your challenges don't have to overwhelm or overtake you. I am committed to helping you to be successful in your journey. I am committed to helping you identify and do the work to be your best for yourself and for those whose lives you touch. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that is conducive to an honest, empathetic and direct exchange of information and ideas.

I am a pediatric psychotherapist with many years of experience working with children who show that they are not functioning well at home and school with "negative" behaviors or anxiety. Outbursts of anger, sadness, and fear, not following directions, arguing, and crying make life difficult for the family and the child. I help the child to understand themselves and help teach them how to function to the best of their ability. I guide and support parents to manage the behaviors and bring about family harmony. I enjoy helping a child to gain self-esteem and the "I Can Do It" attitude.

Are you ready to heal from trauma or grief, set personal boundaries, gain coping skills and improve relationships? If you answered "yes," welcome! As your therapist, we will work together to set goals to achieve healing and mental wellness.

Trying to understand the “standard rules” of behavior was always confusing and overwhelming. When they said, “Don’t cry. Stop acting out. Sit still. Stop being so difficult. You’re too sensitive.”, you heard, “What’s wrong with you?”. You’ve been trying your hardest to figure that answer out ever since. Your focus and attention are precious, so hyper-focusing on something fun and exciting, i.e., TV, Video games, Sports, just made you feel better. It certainly helped tune everything labeled “wrong” or “bad” out, even if it was just for a little while.

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.
