No one is immune to life-challenges and sometimes you need a professional who knows how to guide you through difficult circumstances compassionately, skillfully and efficiently.
With nearly 20 years of experience providing individual, group, and couples therapy for children, adolescents and adults, I not only understand the many colors of pain, I also know pathways to healing.
Because of my passion to help as many people as I can, I received broad-based training and have established a general practice focused on treating common conditions including depression, grief, anxiety, divorce, abuse, ADHD, marital difficulties, anger, infertility, childhood disorders, PTSD, and many others.

As a psychotherapist and life coach, I help people get unstuck and identify and release old patterns and unconscious programs in order to move forward in positive and productive ways. My ability to work both with underlying psychological issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma and help clients take action steps when blocked energy is freed up, creates rich opportunities for happiness, life satisfaction and the ability to move through life's transitions in a healthy and positive way.

Christiansted, VI 00820 (Online Only)
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave us feeling dissatisfied with life.

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.
