My background includes extensive work in grief and loss, anger management, depression, and anxiety, but what truly matters is how those experiences connect to you.
Our first session is all about you, not just what’s been hard, but also your story, strengths, and goals. You can expect me to ask open questions and listen without judgment while you share what brought you here. If you’re dealing with grief, we may explore the weight of your loss. If it’s anger, we’ll start to notice the patterns and triggers.

So, you're getting divorced. First, I'm sorry you're going through this, or any other upsetting and life-altering experience, including job loss, grief, or litigation, among others. I'm sure getting to this point has been no fun at all. And now comes the hard part: hanging onto yourself while your life gets rearranged.

Do you worry all the time? Is it hard for you to turn your thoughts off? Would you like to enjoy the present moment, but feel unable to do so because you are so focused on the past or future?

As a therapist, I believe the focus shouldn't solely be on what someone is going through, but rather on why they’re seeking support. That perspective aligns closely with my overall approach to therapy and guides the way I conduct my sessions. In each session I create a safe and welcoming space where individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves. Everyone’s journey is unique, shaped by their own experiences and perspectives. I truly believe therapy can help uncover triggers and guide individuals toward meaningful resolutions that support a healthier, more balanced life.

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.
