Anger Management Therapists in Federal Triangle, Washington, DC

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) and have experience supporting individuals who experience affective disorders, anxiety, depression, intellectual and developmental disabilities, trauma, and recovering from substance use. I utilize person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to support clients in obtaining their goals. I have experience in supporting clients and facilitating groups focusing on anger management, women’s trauma, mood regulation, and mindfulness.

As humans, we all experience hurt, overwhelm, and uncertainty at times. Many of us have had traumatic upbringings that have altered our perceptions of life. Sometimes, we feel as if our past doesn't affect us but somehow we still feel defeated, hopeless, and controlled by difficult emotions, such as sadness, anger, and anxiety. I believe that unresolved trauma and other issues can hinder our progression and cause us to become trapped in areas of our lives that we are unsatisfied with. Because of this, I work diligently to help connect the dots between past and present experiences to facilitate understanding, acceptance, and growth.

If you feel like you are depressed, anxious, or stuck and don't know what direction to take your life or relationship, please consider psychotherapy. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults who have problems with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood swings, and relationship problems.

Why do we cling to dysfunctional relationship patterns or engage in self-defeating behaviors, perpetuating these ways of living despite the suffering involved? The work we do addresses these concerns in the lives of adults, adolescents, and children.

My ideal client is the teen or adult that has had significant distress from emotional trauma, anxiety, mood and attentional disorders. Most clients have previously tried many types of therapies, including drug therapies, but continue to struggle. By addressing brain function with neurofeedback in addition to therapy, I have had over 90% success helping my clients to overcome or manage their emotional/mental health challenges.

Have you felt out of sync, unable to communicate clearly, frustrated and wanting to try something different but unhappy with what you've tried? I enjoy helping folks learn new ways of communicating, finding new perspectives to barriers and working through individual or relationship struggles to have their needs and wants met. If you are having difficulty making it through your everyday, dealing with the stresses of life, or managing anxiety, depression or ADHD; I can help. I will help you learn new coping skills using your own personal strengths to assist you with enhancing your quality of life while building self-compassion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." I believe that individuals are more than just their experiences. I view psychotherapy as a place in which you can explore your life experiences as well as gain greater insight into your character "what lies within." I believe that growth occurs when people believe that they can make things different in their own lives. My role as a therapist is to support and encourage you as you take steps toward making changes in your life.

Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

I can help individuals improve their quality of life. Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, career difficulties, life transitions, parenting frustrations, caregiving for a loved one… these are some of the issues that cause us to lose our equilibrium. To move forward in the most constructive way, and reestablish equilibrium, we will work together using CBT (cognitive behavior therapy,) my principle area of expertise. We will look at behaviors that aren’t working for you and you will replace them with behaviors that improve your daily life.

Is it hard to show up authentically? Do you seek a safe space to explore and understand yourself holistically? Are you struggling to find a therapist you can connect with? Welp, you have come to the right place!Whether you are looking to dive into your shadow or simply have a space to vent, I'm here to help. Together we will explore, understand and transform your relationship with self so that you can begin living a life of unconditional self-love. As a compassionate and empathetic Humanistic Therapist, I will embrace your inner potential as I support you on your journey to find purpose in your life.

I believe that each individual that seeks therapy makes an important decision to create a change. I understand that asking for help and taking the first step feels difficult. I am qualified with professional and life experience for 30 years to assist you in making the desired change. I am sincerely committed, enthusiastic, dedicated, and available to assist you to take charge and create that positive desired outcome to discover the road to recovery. My mission is to provide quality psychotherapy and recovery services for late teens, adults, couples, and families for them to reach their fullest potential and personal growth.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of my clients are high performers who have become successful despite a difficult childhood. If you are curious how therapy can help you reduce your suffering, improve your relationships, and help you heal from past traumas, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation. I use elements of EMDR therapy in my approach. I am kink allied and sex positive. I invite you to come as you are. I will respect, support, and encourage you during our time in therapy.

Please note I only provide tele-therapy services in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Florida, Delaware & W. Virginia. It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds. If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my Transpersonal , Jungian, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approach to be of benefit. The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity, or self, extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass greater meaning. This can include exploring non ordinary states of consciousness.

Infidelity? Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Trauma? All of these issues can be tough to deal with, but I can help. I have specialized training so that you're not wasting your time and money. Not just talk, talk, talk that gets you nowhere. I used evidence-based treatments so that you're feeling better soon. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions, including substances. Most therapists aren't trained in all these issues. I offer EMDR, as well. There is hope. Together, we'll figure things out.

In times like these, mental health can be a fragile thing. You might be feeling sad, stressed, anxious, detached, irritable, or just plain ground down. The one thing you don’t feel like is yourself. Under the surface of your day-to-day burdens, there may be deeper concerns calling for your attention. Perhaps your relationships are stagnant or suffering. An old betrayal or grief might keep coming up. However it looks, you deserve to live in better conditions. We can help you stretch your innate capacity to live a life with more freedom, choice, and possibility.

LGBT, Relationships/Marriage, Sex, Kink/Fetish, Career Goals, Anxiety/Depression, HIV... Sometimes it can be so easy to sweep things under the rug and deal with it later. The problem is often we have so much going on that we forget to address things that we say we will. This therapeutic practice strongly believes that every person, every situation, and the surrounding circumstances are all unique. Your situation may sound like or seem similar to someone else’s but YOU are the factor that makes yours different, and that’s what the main focus will be; how you can be empowered to explore with me and take solutions into your world.

Life can be challenging at times! Sometimes it feels like just when you think you have figured this thing called "Life" out, there is another obstacle that comes along like a tornado to disrupt it again. I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field assisting individuals tackle challenges in life that may be causing difficulties. I would describe my approach as warm, supportive and communicative. I am excited to walk with you in your journey to a healthier you. You do not have to go through this alone! Through collaboration, communication and openness we can work together. Patience is key! You owe it to you!
