Adults with anxiety &/or anger.
With over 25 years of experience in this field, I am unique and eclectic in my approach. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have been seen as "difficult" by others or who have been dissatisfied with counseling in the past. I recognize the hard work that goes into bringing about change, but still feel the overall experience in counseling should be enjoyable. I am passionate about my work and try to make myself as accessible as possible. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your issues with you in a totally free/phone consultation.

Is your anger getting you in trouble?
You are not alone. Seeking help is the first step to change. Establishing Trust between client and counselor is the most important step in the therapeutic process. My goal as the counselor is to establish trust and provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns to a professional unbiased listener. I can teach you the tools to start feeling better and/or accept what you cannot change and regain peace and comfort and a sense of purpose despite problem areas.

I’ve worked with a variety of clients that have experienced anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, anger management, marital/relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma & abuse, stress management and OCD.
In my experience, all of us will ultimately experience problems that seem to overwhelm our normal abilities to cope. Life is hard and we need outlets to process those difficult times.

Life becomes stressful sometimes, and societal pressure combined with changes, expectations, and conflicts are only some of the triggers that may induce stress, insomnia, anger, sadness, further conflicts, and at times uncontrollable overwhelm.
The first step in finding a therapist is to determine what you are seeking to achieve. You are reading this and considering your next steps. I commend you on taking them and am here to discuss your goals, and to partner with you to achieve them.

I provide a supportive space to explore addiction, ADHD, anger & stress, helping you build healthier coping skills.
When others can’t control you, they try to control what others think about you. Many people feel stuck in toxic cycles—trapped by self-doubt, anxiety, or relationships that drain them. They strive for perfection, fearing they’ll never be enough, or stay silent to avoid conflict. They’re people-pleasers, overthinkers, and caught in patterns of manipulation, constantly questioning themselves instead of trusting their instincts. They long for confidence, boundaries, and the freedom to live life on their own terms but feel paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. I help them break free, recognize their worth, and step into their power.

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.
