Life is full of challenges, and seeking support is an act of strength, not weakness. Each experience-whether difficult or joyful-teaches us something valuable. We're all on our own unique paths, but there's strength in recognizing we don't have to go through it alone. It's a reminder that growth often happens when we open ourselves to learning from others and sharing our own journey.

My ideal clients are adults, teens, and children who feel stuck by emotions, stress, or transitions they can’t quite name or manage. They might be adults carrying the weight of past experiences or current pressures, longing to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. Or they may be parents watching their child struggle with anxiety, frustration, or social challenges and feeling unsure how to help. At their core, my clients want to feel understood and supported. They want to build skills to manage big emotions, communicate more effectively, and reconnect with a sense of hope and possibility.

Oak Park, IL 60301
Many people I work with feel constantly “on edge” — their mind won’t slow down, stress shows up as irritability or avoidance, making it hard to stay focused or follow through even when they care. Others feel behind compared to where they think they should be, despite putting in real effort. Therapy doesn’t have to be vague or endless to be effective. I specialize in working with adults dealing with anxiety and ADHD, using evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and real-life application.

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.
