You may be motivated for change but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. On the outside you may function well, yet internally you’re carrying anxiety, chronic stress, mood symptoms, or worry. You might notice emotional swings, people-pleasing, or that old coping strategies no longer work. You want a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand the links between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body sensations, and a collaborative plan that builds self-compassion, boundaries, and tools. Your goals may include reducing stress, improving emotional balance and relationships, and living more in line with your values.

Making the decision to begin therapy can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. I offer EMDR, ACT, and IFS to help adults process the past, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Many of us find ourselves stuck in deep-rooted patterns that may have once been helpful or protective, but no longer serve us. These patterns can make it hard to feel present, connected, or aligned with the life we want to live. Pain and discomfort are part of being human but with the right support, healing is possible.

I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives.

In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

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.
