Everyone carries the strength to grow and flourish; at times, we simply need gentle guidance to uncover it. With a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based approach, I support individuals working through complex trauma related to family dynamics, parent–child relationships, intrusive thoughts, and emotional challenges. Having lived in both mainland China and New York City, I understand the beauty and complexity of holding multiple identities. I believe trauma and pain cannot be compared—each story holds its own meaning, echoing through generations and shaping how we learn to love and be loved.

Are you grieving, feeling sad or depressed, anxious, have uncontrollable anger or feelings of low self-esteem?
Though a licensed psychoanalyst, you will not be speaking to a blank wall. My treatment philosophy is to address the underlying issues that cause the behavior rather than just the behavior itself. Therapy can be difficult but not as difficult as living with the painful feelings you are currently 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.
