Therapy is more than a place to talk — it’s a space to pause, breathe, and gently untangle the experiences that have shaped you. I see each person as inherently resilient, even when life feels overwhelming. Within a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, we can begin to make sense of what’s been heavy, reconnect with your strengths, and create room for meaningful change.

The last few years have challenged all of us in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Many people have had to stay strong and keep going—only to realize later how much the stress, loss, and uncertainty have taken a toll. I created my telehealth private practice to offer a safe, accessible space for healing and support. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, and PTSD, and I’m especially passionate about working with members of tthe LGBTQ+ community. As a queer-affirming therapist, my goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, without having to explain or defend your identity

Hi! It’s great that you are exploring support- and you are not alone- at times, we all struggle to function at our best. While there is no 'magic fix', we all could use help during life's tougher times. To have therapy is to have somebody on your side who listens to and understands your challenges to offer trusted, unbiased support- a person to ‘team up’ with to plan the steps that overcome your troubles. In challenging times it’s easy to distract ourselves instead of dealing with the problems that keep us stuck in unhappy places. Unfortunately, before long they resurface in times, places, and ways we don't expect/recognize.

I've always wanted to help those who need it, and I'm lucky enough to be able to do that every single day. I, myself, have had significant life challenges and know what it's like to be shocked and scared by the enormity of it all. I devote my practice to helping those who have questions about their lives and say things like, “I should have my life together by now," "I won’t amount to anything," "I can’t get myself to do anything,” "I'm not a good parent/spouse/friend." My goal is to help people tackle their worst-case scenario thoughts so they aren't taking up so much space.

I like to approach therapy as collaborative detective work, solving the riddles that stand in the way of a happier, calmer, more meaningful life. What are the current issues and past experiences contributing to your distress? How can you attain greater awareness and control over your decisions and behavior? These are the puzzles we'll undertake solving together. Research indicates that the connection between you and your therapist is the paramount factor in predicting therapeutic success. I'm not a passive listener; I provide ample feedback and will approach our work together with respect, curiosity and compassion.

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.
