Anger may surface quickly, depression can drain motivation, and anxiety might leave you second-guessing every decision.
With over 34 years of experience, I help clients talk openly about what feels hardest, practice clearer communication, and test small changes that reduce distress. Sessions focus on practical strategies that fit real life, supporting steadier moods, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of confidence.

Fairborn, OH 45324
My ideal client is someone who is ready to make sense of their story and move toward healing, even if they don’t yet know where to start. They may be carrying the weight of anxiety, loss, trauma, or self-doubt, and want to feel grounded, capable, and connected again. As a therapist and social worker, and as someone who has walked through my own difficult seasons, I understand that growth often begins in the moments we feel most uncertain. My goal is to help clients rediscover their strength, gain clarity, and create meaningful change that allows them to move beyond survival into a life of purpose and self-acceptance.

Engaging in therapy can feel scary and vulnerable. Finding the right therapist, someone you feel comfortable and safe with, is essential. When you feel secure, you're more likely to open up, allowing yourself to explore the issues that may be holding you back. Through this process, you can begin developing the skills and strategies needed to manage those challenges.

Anxiety, depression, and grief can quietly reshape daily life. You might find yourself withdrawing from others, struggling to stay motivated, or wondering if things will ever feel normal again. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when loss and low mood intertwine. Grief can deepen depression, while ongoing anxiety can make it harder to heal. Therapy offers a calm space to pause, process what’s happening, and rediscover steadiness. I help clients navigate worry, sadness, and loss to restore a greater sense of balance, connection, and purpose.

The entire world has been changed, seemingly overnight. Please reach out if you need to talk to someone. Ever wake up in the morning and said to yourself, "I cannot keep doing this", only to find yourself doing the very thing you swore off only four hours ago? If you have said this to yourself, you have probably been surfing the internet for a cure for addictions, or how to quit drinking so much, or how to make it through detox. Addictions are insufferable. I have been working in the field for 13 years with mental health and addiction issues.

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.
