I work with children experiencing symptoms related to difficulty concentrating and focusing, physical and verbal aggression, difficulty with following directions, sadness, anxiousness, low self-esteem, anger, sibling rivalry, jealousy, being bullied, and childhood trauma.
As a child therapist, I specialize solely in non-directive child centered play therapy. This modality has been proven the most effective means to support the child's ability to become self-regulated and the best child they can be. I work with the child's parents throughout the treatment process as their child transforms into consistent self regulation.

I want to create a safe and supportive atmosphere where people can discuss their lives freely without fear of judgement. While the specific goals of therapy are always decided by the client, my overarching goals with each person is that they will come to understand their worth as an individual, and will find freedom to fully engage with life. I believe in not only addressing issues that hold people back, but also in exploring their unique strengths and interests.

We are made for relationships. When those relationships become strained, distant, or broken, the rest of life begins to feel overwhelming. Life is already difficult. It's unbearable to do it alone. Good therapy helps people relate to others in healthier ways: clear boundaries, emotional awareness, and honesty. Your past shapes your present, but it doesn't have to define your future. Together, we will look closely at the patterns, wounds, and conflicts that keep you stuck. Whether it's something from three days ago or three decades ago, you can move forward with clarity and heal the relationships that matter the most.

Sometimes life can leave you feeling like you're carrying more than anyone realizes. You might be exhausted from constantly overthinking, questioning your worth, navigating family conflict, or trying to figure out who you are during a season of change. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to have the the answers before starting therapy. You just have to show up. I strive to create a space where you can be completely yourself and feel heard, understood, and accepted without fear of judgment. My hope is that our sessions become a place where you can slow down and make sense of what you're experiencing.

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.
