Most folks that are having problems with drinking, drugging and stress are just regular folks trying to get through life. They are having problems with their relationships, finances and maybe their jobs. Staying in relationship seems impossible and maybe you're underemployed feeling like you are never going to find that career that makes you happy or that you really like. In today's world there is way too much stress and couples are having a very hard time staying together. Unfortunate things can happen and you may need to ask for help.

Often, disfunction is a reflection of unfulfilled needs. What is your authentic inner calling and purpose? Together, we can begin to discover what is out of balance. I work with adults, teens, and adolescents. My approach uses CBT and a combination of evidence-supported tools that are foundational to mental and physical health. We work collaboratively to come up with ways to facilitate lasting change. “Probably the biggest insight… is that happiness is not just a place, but also a process. Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.” –Ed Diener.

Are you feeling lost in your own story? Breaking patterns, finding your story, rewriting the journey, understanding ourselves, and designing new paths can be ways out of cycles of behavior. Living your best life takes work, honesty and exploration. Working together, we can develop strategies and tools you can continue to use now and throughout your life. Change begins when we start to look more closely at our lives and think intentionally about who we are and who we want to be.

I am excited that you are stopping by on your way to find a therapist. A therapist that can hold space unconditionally while also bringing clarity to life situations is a profound gift. I believe that people are naturally oriented to grow, heal, and experience love and connection. However, folks usually seek therapy during or after difficult events, when the ground has disappeared. In therapy with me you will have a safe and spacious environment to examine your experience actively and intentionally take part in your growth and healing.

It’s challenging to admit to having difficulties in our lives. We experience so much in our fast-paced world, and we are expected to just “be okay” no matter what. We try our best, and try again, and keep on going because we must. You are strong, and you’ve been strong for so long. But sometimes we need a moment to work on ourselves. We need a minute to take a pause and understand the underlying issue of why something just isn’t correctly working. You’re not alone in that sentiment. You are not alone. Together we can discover your concerns and create a peaceful, happy path towards accomplishing a life you want. Pause.

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.
