I work with adults who have experienced trauma and are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, difficult emotions, or the impact of past experiences on their relationships and daily lives. Many of my clients are looking for a safe, compassionate space to better understand what they are experiencing and develop practical tools for moving forward. Together, we use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to help clients feel more grounded, build confidence, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. My goal is to meet each client where they are and work collaboratively toward the life they want.

I believe that each person hold the key to their own journey. Good therapy is a collaborative process, in which the therapist acts as a guide and witness rather than an authority figure or judge. I integrate a variety of tools and approaches in a way that's tailored to support each client's needs.

Stress, depression, anxiety and trauma, are a part of everyday life, yet most of us avoid our feelings and negate the vast emotions that surface. We deny our emotions and lean into everyday routines and then wonder why we feel sad, angry, overwhelmed and exhausted. These reactions can negatively affect our interpersonal relationships on every level – intimate sexual relationships, friendships, parent child dynamics and work relationships. Life does not have to exist this way.

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.
