That is why I specialize in them - relationships with friends, family, colleagues, ourselves, our higher power. Properly realigning these problematic, strained, estranged relationships transforms your suffering into purposeful, worthwhile living. Ultimately your fullest life is my goal as your therapist.

Are you experiencing anxiety, grief, sadness, anger , trauma, or stress from daily life? My goal is to help you explore your core strengths to improve your emotions, build better relationships, or strengthen perceived weaknesses. As a therapist I've provided treatment services in a variety of settings residential, behavioral/mental health, elementary/ high schools grades K-12th, and private practice. In each settings I've found the most common reason for a client not seeking help earlier, fear of being judged. I'm here to actively listen, offer coping skills and techniques to help you better understand problems and solve them.

I specialize in adults with anger management , anxiety, depression & trauma.
The first step in any journey takes the courage to start. And you already have! You're here. I know there is still a lot of shame around being vulnerable and asking for help. We live in a world that often demands perfection, high expectations, and pushing ourselves to the max. Struggling with depression, anger , or trauma does not make you a failure. It makes you human. I believe we all have the innate ability to heal ourselves, and therapy can support you in finding that clarity and empowerment.

When the way you usually handle things is no longer working for you, it's time to look in to changing yourself. Change your thoughts and you really can change your world. Difficulties with others in your life as well as emotions you are struggling with can be looked at differently and lead to increased peace and happiness. Panic, Anxiety, Excessive Worry, Depression and Anger can all arise from thoughts that trigger your fight or flight response. Change your thinking and you can change how you feel and how you behave.

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.
