It is not possible to build a good home on a shaky foundation. This same principle applies to the life we build for ourselves. I work with people going through quarter-life or mid-life crises. We work together to help you heal and rebuild your foundation so that you can continue to build a thriving life. You could be a young adult who is struggling in relationships with parents, or a partner, or in your career. Or you could be a mid-life person struggling with marriage conflict, parenting clashes, or career trajectory. Or maybe you have addictions or habits that are poisoning your life that you want to get rid of.

I love working with people exploring queerness, navigating trauma, or processing grief. My clients often carry shame, disconnection, or survival-mode patterns that once kept them safe but now feel limiting. You may want to feel at home in your own skin, trust yourself again, and reclaim parts of yourself you’ve hidden. Grounded in equity, vulnerability, authenticity, and empowerment, I use Gestalt Therapy, IFS, and somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, deepen awareness, and live with more presence, intimacy, and self-trust.

I have 31 years of experience providing counseling. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, stressing that what we think determines what we feel and what we do. For many reasons, people learn unrealistic or destructive thoughts that cause them problems in their lives. Therapy works towards more realistic thinking, and avoiding old and destructive thinking. As I like to say, therapy is a conversation with a destination, and realistic thinking is that destination.

Life is hard. I believe counseling starts when relationships, stresses or internal struggles become more than you can handle. If you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, angry or not quite like yourself, I will offer you a non-judgmental space to begin to gain awareness of your wants/needs and support for your journey of change.

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.
