I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with serious mental illness, trauma grief and loss, anger management, anxiety, substance abuse and relationship issues.
Sometimes our lives get out of balance. Life throws more on our plate than we believe we can handle and our ability to cope starts to deteriorate. You're willing to work, but it may be difficult to find your way out of the box you feel trapped in. When you're in crisis, you don't want to wait for services and you certainly don't want to feel like just another number in line. You want help right away so you can get on with your life. My commitment is to provide that quality of care in a timely manner.

My passion lies in assisting individuals as they navigate challenges related to marriage and relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, and anger. Over the past 5 years, I've worked extensively with clients facing a variety of concerns, including marriage problems, relationship issues, family conflicts, as well as individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and life transitions. Specializing in children's behavioral issues, anger, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I've acquired valuable skills to address the unique challenges faced by children and their families.

Individuals experience numerous events that leave lasting impacts, whether good or bad. Finding someone to talk to can be a struggle because we may feel we will be judged or seen as incapable of dealing with events. Depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and communicating feelings can be difficult topics to discuss in a non-formal setting. By not having an open discussion about such topics, our lives can take a toll and spiral down at times. Mental health is an aspect of life that often gets overlooked in many communities, and taking the initiative to talk to a therapist is the first step to a well-balanced life.

Hi! I am Lisa. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes in providing a safe space to be vulnerable, so that true healing can begin. I typically work with individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, mood instability, and anger control issues. I am comfortable treating any one of these things, among others. Seeing a close family member struggle with mental health issues, and the desire to understand and assist on a deeper level, is what attracted me to psychotherapy. Advocating for the significance of mental health awareness and effective treatment is what continues to drive me to this day.

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.
