First responders and others carrying trauma, PTSD, grief, or suicidal thoughts often feel unable to take part in life roles that once brought satisfaction. You may be living with intrusive memories, numbness, shame, or restless nights that make daily tasks harder. Recovery is possible, and you do not have to face this alone. Trauma, grief, and suicidal thoughts can come from line-of-duty events, sudden loss, or long-accumulated stress; they often overlap and worsen one another. Together we'll slowly process these experiences, restore safety, and rebuild your sense of purpose.

My area of expertise is such that I am equipped to work with clients struggling with a multitude of issues, such as depression, anxiety, anger.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy stems from the merging of two types of therapy, Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The basic premise of CBT is that unhelpful thoughts cause negative emotions and unhelpful behaviors are learned. I help clients to identify and modify the unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that are interfering with their emotional well-being.

As a therapist, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and anger-related issues in adults.
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Their reasons may range from mild relationship difficulties to more severe problems that affect their ability to work, love, and enjoy life. Although I use empirically-supported techniques, I do not believe in “cookie-cutter” approaches. In collaboration with my clients, I work to tailor interventions that are consistent with my clients’ goals and values. There is no "one size fits all" approach, but I draw most heavily on mindfulness-enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy and ACT. I teach people to see the connections between situations, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

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.
