As a former professor in Counseling, I am an expert in: Stress, Anxiety, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Bipolar disorder Depression, Relationship issues, Intimacy, Parenting issues, Anger, Self- esteem, ADHD, Multicultural Concerns, Obsessions, Personality Disorders, Phobias, and most issue in the DSM-5.
In my experience in life I have found that we all are faced with difficulty and challenges. In the process of our development we have crises that present problems and opportunities, often at the same time. In the process of grasping these opportunities we are often able to reduce the impact of the problem and grow to improve upon situations that we face. Consequently, my education, professional development, life experience, and expertise as a therapist, lead me to offer guidance and support in providing a means of opportunity for progress, development and growth. Therefore I extend myself to provide you the best services.

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.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a licensed therapist passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I believe that many young people grow up being told their feelings don't matter, which can make it difficult to express or even identify emotions later in life. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated, knowing that your feelings are real and important; because we've all experienced the opposite, and you deserve better. I primarily work with teens and adults processing childhood experiences. If this sounds like what you need, I would love to work with you.

You might wonder what your life purpose really is, or feel as if you’re stuck in the same cycle. Many of my clients have described feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending pressures of life. I find that many people have dealt with so much trauma and disappointment in life that they begin to feel powerless. The way out isn’t necessarily to fix all the problems in your life, but to learn how to respond differently to them, as your capable, beautiful self. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to see a new path. I help people get out of unhelpful patterns, so they can pursue their true purpose and direction.

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.
