I believe healing starts with being fully seen. Not judged. Not fixed. Not rushed. Just understood. I meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating life transitions, carrying trauma, or simply trying to make sense of your next step. You don’t need the “right words” when you come in. You just have to come as you are. As a clinician, I take a person-centered approach, which means this space is built around you, your story, your experiences, and your pace. I’m not here to talk at you or give surface-level advice. I’m here to sit with you, challenge you when needed, support you deeply, and help

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I draw from several treatment modalities—including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care—so we can find the tools that best fit your unique needs and goals. I value collaboration and adaptability, meeting clients where they are and adjusting the process as we go. Just as importantly, I recognize my own limitations and believe in honesty, transparency, and referral when it serves your best interest. This balance allows me to create a supportive, personalized, and ethical therapeutic space for real growth.

People are saddled with a matrix of problematic anger issues masquerading as stress.
I approach most counseling issues from a perspective that most people are doing the best they can with what they believe and perceive. Hence, the context for most of our pain as human beings and our well being is found within the meanings we code our experiences with and the relationship spheres we foster. Therefore, above all the various strategies I may find the need to employ on behalf of my client, the most impactful of all of these is that of using the compassionate connection we build with each other as being a powerful catalyst to generate the flow of new possibility.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. You prioritized your career, you kept your eyes on the prize, you sacrificed, you never complained or made excuses. You had the work ethic, grit, and intelligence to overcome every challenge you faced. But for some reason that isn't working any more. You tell yourself to buckle down and power through, but you just...don't. You watch yourself drinking more, gaining weight, missing deadlines, lashing out at the people closest to you. It's all falling apart. You've outworked so many competitors and overcome so much, but now you're in a battle with yourself, and for the first time, you're losing.

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.
