I primarily work with adults and older teens navigating challenges in various relationships, anger, trauma, communication and family struggles.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither am I. I believe that getting to know your therapist before diving into therapy is just as important as the work we’ll do together. Here’s what you should know about me: I started my work in mental health about 10 years ago. I use a blend of attentive communication, empathy, education and a little humor to create a space that’s equal parts supportive and engaging.

I specialize in providing trauma-informed care through an attachment lens and supporting clients with feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and anger.
Can saying what you need feel overwhelming or even unsafe? Are emotions sometimes difficult to access? Do relationships feel challenging or turbulent? Maybe you notice that your inner voice sounds critical? If any of these experiences resonate for you, you are not alone. It would be an honor to support you in understanding and processing the roots of these dynamics. I work with folks in healing their relationship with the parts of themselves they may feel confused towards, angry with, ashamed of, or disconnected from. I believe that you are innately deserving of love, safety, and connection — starting from within.

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.
