I work with those struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, with experience in domestic violence.
I can help by developing an understanding of how our thoughts have a large influence on our behaviors and emotions. We will work together to challenge the thoughts that have developed through the events that have occurred in life to take control over how we feel.

Welcome, and thanks for reading my profile. I’m Scott. You may be here because anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship patterns have left your inner life feeling chaotic, numb, or difficult to understand. Or maybe you want therapy that goes deeper than coping skills and helps you explore meaning, identity, and the parts of you that feel stuck. My work is grounded, compassionate, and depth-oriented, drawing from EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, mindfulness, psychedelic integration, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and existential/nondual self-inquiry.

My goal & passion is to value all walks of life & experiences! I know it can be difficult to seek help, the idea of counseling can freak some people out. However, if you're looking here, you're halfway there. The impact of trauma, stigma toward mental health, addictions, the LGBTQ+ community, infidelity can reinforce dysfunctional coping, self-loathing and sometimes self-harm. It can keep people stuck. I understand this on a personal and professional level. Therapy's not easy and not the most ideal at times, but can help if you team up with someone who will earn your trust. I want to help those who want and need support

You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected in relationships, or stuck in patterns shaped by past hurt. Many of my clients are children, teens, adults, or couples who are trying to hold everything together while quietly struggling inside. You want peace, clarity, emotional safety, and relationships that feel secure instead of painful. Deep down, you’re hoping for real healing—not just coping—so you can feel like yourself again and move forward with confidence and connection.

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.
