I work with kids, teens, and adults navigating a range of challenges. People often come to me when something feels stuck—anxiety, emotional overwhelm, behavioral concerns, or patterns that just aren’t working anymore. Everyone has a unique, layered story, and that context matters. While we’ll explore the tough spots, therapy doesn’t stay there. I focus just as much on your strengths—the resilient, capable parts of you that are often overlooked. Together, we build on those qualities to create meaningful, lasting change so you can move toward a life that feels more balanced, empowered, and truly your own

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.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in many medical facilities today and I am against the practice. I am making a statement: I don’t believe AI and the collection of voice recordings in a medical / psychotherapy office should happen. Be assured that I do not and I will not record therapy sessions. Treatment sessions are sacrosanct to me and therefore confidential.

You might look like you have it all together—but inside, it’s a different story. You replay conversations, compare yourself to others, and feel like you’re constantly falling short. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed at work, stuck in unsatisfying relationships, or unsure of your path or purpose. Sound familiar? I understand the pain of not feeling good enough and burnt out from trying to hold everything together. My style blends insight-oriented work with practical tools from CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic therapies, allowing me to tailor our work to your specific needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Getting stuck is easy. Getting unstuck doesn’t have to be as lonely and painful as it sometimes feels and sometimes is. My path to this career hasn't been linear, and I'm no stranger to feeling stuck at times. Feeling & getting stuck is part of being human. I’m starting out with this to let you know that as a therapist, I won’t be parroting jargon, telling you how to live your best life or telling you what you should do. I’ll listen, then listen some more, then keep listening for patterns. We’ll work together to harness your capacity for change, your ability to get unstuck, and when needed, find other resources and supports.

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.
