I help individuals find healing from trauma, relational conflict, anxiety, communication issues, anger, and depression, among other therapeutic issues.
Experiences can shape who we believe ourselves to be without us even recognizing the impact of it all, often skewing our perceptions of our true self. Our situations and relationships can also leave us feeling hurt, disappointed, afraid, angry, confused, out of control, unmotivated, and so much more. I understand how difficult and uncomfortable it is to feel conflicting emotions simultaneously. I absolutely enjoy working with people of all walks of life to help build mindfulness, a deeper sense of self and clarity and peace amid whatever issues you may be facing.

You deserve more than harboring anxiety, guilt, anger, and never feeling good enough.
You're trapped, flooded, and hopeless—cluster f-k. The last thing you want to do is drag it out for months or years, talking about it repeatedly once a week for 50 minutes. Unwanted thoughts, knots in your stomach, debilitating social anxiety, and agonizing relationships - all that shit can be cleared like flushing down a commercial-grade toilet rather than in increments. If you have cancer, it only makes sense to surgically remove the cancer cells first before you start a weekly exercise regimen. The same goes for your problems.

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.
