Hi there! My name is Bri and I’m excited that you’re here ready to start something great for yourself. If you're noticing that you resort to

Are you grieving, feeling sad or depressed, anxious, have uncontrollable
anger
or feelings of low self-esteem? These and other forms of inner conflict can be overwhelming and debilitating. They can cause physical pain as well as fatigue, sleeplessness, eating disorders and a host of other symptoms and behaviors. Psychotherapy can address these issues and help you to lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Finding the right therapist is crucial and can be challenging. Location and insurance are practical concerns, but should not be the primary consideration. The rapport between you and your therapist is key to successful treatment.

In my studies I have focused on depression, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, self-harm, attachment disorder, substance abuse,
anger management
, behavioral issues, and self-esteem.
There are times in life when there doesn't seem like a way out of emotional pain. Our life histories, traumas, losses, and disappointments can run so deep that you think the only solution is to give up and stay where you are because change seems frightening. I'm confident I’m able to help you have a more joyful life, better relationships, and to create a more optimistic and exciting vision for your future. You can learn the most effective tools and recognize your strengths focusing on yourself in the now. I can teach you how to treat yourself with patience and compassion, while making a real decision to change.

I am psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples. If you’re feeling like something is missing and finding it difficult these days to feel grounded in yourself, I want to help you figure out what’s getting in the way so you can feel like your true self again. Unresolved grief, trauma, feelings of abandonment, shame, and
anger
can hide in the unconscious mind and keep us stuck in toxic patterns that ruin relationships, sex and our sense of self. Anxiety, fear, and unmanaged stress can wreak havoc on our ability to hold on to a sense of hope.

I worked with clients who struggled with substance abuse, anxiety,

and domestic violence.
As a mental health counselor (MHC-LP), I believe that everyone needs a safe space and trusted person to share their personal struggles. My style of counseling firstly focuses on the counselor client relationship. Using person centered approaches, I provide a safe space, where we as counselor and client develop a rapport, so you feel heard and understood. Once a trusting rapport is established, I will work with you at your own pace, through the stages of change, to help you accomplish your goals and achieve overall wellness.

He is also accredited as a Certified Addiction Specialist, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and a Certified
Anger Management
Specialist.
Psychotherapy is about transition, you are not necessarily bound by your patterns. It's also about simultaneously addressing symptoms and developing effective and lasting means of combating them. Life stressors, especially during difficult times, challenge us to approach these stressors in more effective ways. We must ask to reconsider ourselves, our behaviors, our responses, and our ability to engage with others.. The practice of psychotherapy is a creative, forward moving, and lasting transition to enhance all areas of one’s life.

Contacting a therapist can feel awkward and scary. Be assured that your internal and external life can and will improve. We can work at a pace you feel comfortable with. We all want freedom from our emotional pain. Worries or anxiety,
anger
or depression, insomnia, relationship conflict or traumatic memories may lead to escape or excessive dependence upon externals like food, substances, events, experiences and relationships for relief. Escape never leads to peace. Thankfully, we all can learn to find a dependable source of peace inside, in our minds and hearts, no matter the external circumstances. I can help you get there.

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.
