I’m passionate about finding new, practical ways to help people tackle tough issues like Anger, Relationship struggles, Grief, Trauma, and Depression.
Real Talk. Real Tools. Real Change. Therapy that meets you where you are — and helps you move forward. Everyone needs support at some point in their life. Counseling gives you a safe, judgment-free space to talk about what’s going on — and to discover ways to feel happier, motivated, and in control again. Since 2012, I’ve been honored to work alongside individuals working through mental health challenges and mood management. I also work with couples — whether you’re married, preparing for marriage, or dating — to strengthen communication, connection, and trust.

If the flowers in your garden are wilted instead of vivacious, perhaps you are watering the wrong lot-- and if you find yourself to be in the right lot and weeds are growing instead of flowers, perhaps you better check what kind of seed was sowed; and after all of that, if the results you are seeing are different from what you expected, perhaps I can assist you with this vexing dilemma. At Four Seasons Therapy the focus is on you and how to work the solution to reach your life's goals.

I view therapy as an opportunity to use one own's strengths and values as a way to make sense of conflictual situations, whether interpersonal or intrapersonal, and how those characteristics are seen in the world. Ideally, therapy with me, will involve individuals who are looking to identify, explore, and create goals in a supportive and therapeutic environment. Therapy is meant to help you become your own "checkpoint" person. With the skills and knowledge you develop and practice in our sessions, it can help guide your decisions when faced with unfamiliar or familiar situations that question your values.

Let's change that. Working together, we can examine some of the tools that worked for us for a long time, but don't fit into your new life.

I strongly believe that at our core the way we interpret what we experience creates narratives that guides our behaviors or how we react to things. It can mean the difference between being hopeful and hopeless.

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.
