Hello, the work that I do with individuals, couples and families is based in a mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy approach. I work with clients to integrate mindfulness skills and cognitive behavior strategies into their daily lives. These strategies help to access a more centered and deliberate way of being. The skills and strategies used are tailored for each individual based on concerns, goals and interests. This approach is great for those who experience anxiety, high levels of stress, trauma, depression, or have anger related concerns.

I have a passion for working with teens struggling with anger and defiant behaviors.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I consider it to be an honor and a privilege to be a part of each individual’s healing and journey through therapy. I believe in the importance of creating a strong therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I strive to create such a relationship by treating each client with unconditional positive regard and empathy. Seeking and asking for help can be difficult especially if you have ever felt invalidated or unheard. I aim to support my clients in expressing their needs and becoming their authentic self and creating a meaningful, purposeful life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I can be helpful to folks who are wrestling with anxiety, codependence, grief & loss, stress & anger management , mental health and substance use.
It takes a lot of Courage to seek help. For most, the journey begins when the struggle becomes overwhelming or unbearable. The Willingness to accept support & guidance usually does not come easy. I applaud anyone who does so. Basic human needs include survival, a sense of belonging, power, freedom and fun. When these elements are not in place or are out of balance, we can present as anxious, depressed, stressed out and angry. I work well with people who are wanting to gain clarity around imbalances, and who want to take action on making changes that align with, and help to maintain, personal integrity.

This world is full of uncertainty, doubt, pain, joys, triumphs, misery, chaos, peaks and valleys, and all of those moments in between. There are times when everything in your life may appear to be going smoothly and things go off without a hitch. There are other times during which no matter how hard you try, you find yourself in a whirlwind of chaos and turmoil, walking down a dark and lonely path with nobody in sight to throw you a lifeline. There are times in your life when you may feel misunderstood by family and friends, and you need someone to really listen, empathize, and validate your experience.

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.
