I am passionate about helping others regain their freedom through processing trauma. When I started my own addiction recovery process I had to heal my own traumas and wounds. In 2016 I started the UnashamedUnafraid podcast to be a voice of hope, speaking personally about sexual addiction recovery. Now I work with others to help them experience the freedom of healing. I also enjoy leading groups and individuals through life-changing workshops. My core belief about the healing process is that it comes from within. Everyone already has what they need to heal. Hope is possible for every heart no matter how big the trauma or hopeless.

You look at your life and think, is this really all there is? Because, you think differently, you see the world differently, and you feel confused or in conflict. This may cause you distress in relationships, turmoil within yourself, and disconnection from the world around you. You may engage in unhealthy coping skills such as lashing out in anger, school or work avoidance, substance use, and disengagement from social life and family. Your culture, religion, and family tells you to do it one way, but something inside is telling you differently. Or, you’ve tried “their” way, it doesn’t fit and you feel like you’re barely holding on.

CBT, DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Anger Management and Psychoeducational approaches are tools I have in my toolbox for helping others.
Greetings! As a provider who marches to the beat of a slightly different drum, I have been known in some circles as "That Biker Therapist" which was derived from my tendency to be found on the highways and mountain roads of Utah when I am out of the office doing my version of "self-care" and meditation with blacktop and wind therapy. I started out in Corrections and then to Outpatient as I found it to be personally rewarding to help others before or after being in the judicial system. My areas I have spent most of my career working with addiction, trauma and depression/anxiety.

Licensed in Utah and Nevada, offices in Saint George and Mesquite. I believe the counseling process a collaborative journey. The journey begins without judgement in a safe and helping environment.... Each of you has a life story and within that story are opportunities for growth, happiness, and fulfillment. Many of you are feeling emotional pain, frustrations, anger, fear, and hopelessness. You are not "broken" just likely realizing that the problem solving tools that may have worked in the past may be dull or worn. Many times we are not sure what to do, or where to look for help. Now is a great time to call and start your journey.

Live is hard and life comes with responsibility that will bring pain and heartache. People make choices that hurt us, and we make choices that hurt us too and others. Being a father and mother brings decisions and obligation that comes with pressure, fear, stress, and anxiety. We can also find joy, happiness, and peace within these roles. I don’t know about you. I can become overwhelmed and struggle to find meaning and purpose under such circumstances. One thing for sure, life brings change and how we deal with change in life will determine much of who we are.

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.
