It’s fine. I'm fine. Everything is FINE! How many times have we said that to ourselves or others and deep down we know it isn't true? Sometimes it’s just easier to tell ourselves that rather than get to the root of the problem. Are you a highly functioning person who feels more anxious, unsettled, alone, frustrated, or empty than you’d like? Ongoing optimism, a growth-mindset, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental space help my clients move forward. I have previously worked with a diverse range of clients at Ohio Wesleyan University, in various public and private education roles, and in several corporate positions.

I work with people who are ready to understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Often, these challenges are tied to emotions and beliefs formed early in life; reactions that once made sense but now cause stress, confusion, or disconnection. In therapy, we explore how those early patterns still shape your present. The fear that once kept you safe might now drive anxiety. A habit of shutting down may have protected you in the past, but now leaves you feeling isolated. These responses follow a kind of emotional logic. Once you understand that logic, you can begin to shift it.

I am passionate about helping individuals realize their potential in life. Being emotionally stuck can inhibit the opportunity for growth and for experiencing all that life can offer. Our view of ourselves can impact how we function in life. It can also affect how we interact relationally. Stress and anxiety as well as depression can develop from distortions in our thinking. These are all issues that can be overcome, resulting in a fulfilling and peaceful existence.

Deciding to attend therapy is a courageous act that can result in life altering and life affirming outcomes. I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment based on unconditional positive regard and focusing on personal strengths. Therapy is a process whereby clients have the opportunity to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and find out how to make changes toward a more fulfilling life. I see therapy as a collaborative process where I help clients identify therapy goals and establish their own measures of progress. Together we find and work toward solutions that can make life more rewarding.

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.
