My ideal client navigates life with a neurodivergent mind (ADHD/Autism), often battling anxiety or trauma from trying to fit a mold that wasn't built for them. They struggle with executive dysfunction, sensory overload, and the exhaustion of 'masking' their true selves.
They need more than support; they need a neuro-affirming strategist. Their goal is not to 'fix' their brain, but to master it. They want practical tools (CBT/REBT) to handle emotional regulation and focus. Ultimately, they seek to move from surviving chaos to living authentically, finding a space where they are fully understood.

My patients come from complex, chaotic families, where relationships and communication are broken and there is sometimes chronic illness, addictions, or other problems such as violence. These families are rigid, but my patients want to remain in and be accepted by them. When such a family encounters hurdles in the outside environment, external stresses are added to those within. At present, polarization happening simultaneously inside and outside a family is an increasing and dangerous combination. I help my patients see how their family works, opening possibilities for change while keeping the family together.

A successful therapeutic relationship will be supportive, empowering, positive, but also difficult, at times uncomfortable, and often challenging. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well; instead, we are feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions. Things that once made sense no longer do, we are confused, fearful, and just want to feel better. Imagine not feeling so afraid, understanding how/where your thoughts come from, or just simply being able to be happy; these are the expectations of our work together.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families navigating the friction of complex relationship dynamics and generational patterns.

I also have extensive experience helping people overcome self destructive patterns of behavior such as uncontrolled anger, alcohol, substance abuse, and dysfunctional relationships.
I use a strengths-based perspective. This means I know that all of us are flawed, and we all make mistakes, but we are not our mistakes. I help folks see their true value, so they make choices based on that perspective instead of making choices from a place of pain, anger or fear.

My ideal clients are people carrying the weight of trauma who are ready—sometimes nervously, sometimes determinedly—to understand their experiences instead of being controlled by them. They’re often thoughtful, resilient individuals who’ve been doing their best to cope, but still feel stuck in cycles of fear, guilt, shame, or self‑blame. Many come to me because they’re tired of feeling disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose.
I offer structure, compassion, and expertise that helps clients feel safe enough to do the hard work through CPT guidance, skill-building, and clear goals and progress.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything. It’s hard to know when the anxiety will be over especially living in an anxiety-inducing world that is constantly changing which in turn leads to more anxiety. If this sounds like you, you're not alone!

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.
