Behavioral: Anger management; Domestic Abuse, High-Risk behaviors related to Substance Use, and Self-Esteem.
Addiction can lead us down a path we thought we would never walk. Sometimes we get lost and need gentle guidance to find our way back to live the life we were meant to live. Like the caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly You too can “ Emerge a New You!.” Addiction can take many forms besides drugs & alcohol, cigarettes & gambling. Sometimes what seems to be an addiction is a habit that needs to be broken. Together we can determine the difference & explore solutions. Additional examples: eating disorders, work, shopping, shoplifting, self mutilation, risky behaviors, video games, relationships, etc. You are NOT alone.

Reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy, whether you’re a teen or an adult. I work with teenage boys and adults of all genders who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or just feeling overwhelmed by life.
For teens—especially boys—it’s not always easy to open up or put things into words. I aim to create a low-pressure, genuine space where they can be themselves without worrying about saying the “right” thing. Many of the teens I see are dealing with intrusive thoughts, low mood, identity questions, or pressure from school, peers, or family.

You may be the person everyone relies on—the one who keeps going, handles the stress, and takes care of everyone else. But underneath it all, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or simply exhausted from carrying so much. I work with adults navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, with a special focus on first responders, professionals in high-stress careers, and women who are ready to make space for themselves, too.

I have had the opportunity to work for 43 years with Individual adults and adolescents, couples, families, and groups. The issues of trauma, loss, life changes, depression and anxiety are so much a part of all of our lives. Levels of stress complicate conversations, disconnect relationships, decrease self care, and interfere with our happiness. Finding balance is what this therapy can offer. Imagine sitting and talking with no judgement, confronting your own past and finding a new present. Working together we will undo old messages which have run your emotions and influenced your behaviors and create new ones you choose to live by.

Are you feeling completely overwhelmed by persistent inner noise, chronic stress, or the heavy weight of exhaustion? On the surface, you are doing what needs to be done and executing your daily responsibilities. But internally, you know you have hit a wall. You might be struggling with a loud internal critic that leaves you feeling exhausted, or perhaps you are trapped in a cold, emotional numbness, hiding your true fatigue from everyone around you. Many of my clients are individuals who find themselves quietly burning out under the constant weight of over-responsibility.

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.
