I have witnessed many people, weighed down by hurt and anger, who genuinely desire change but feel so stuck they don’t know where to begin.
I use a variety of approaches — like EMDR, Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused, Somatic Experiential, art and body-based therapies — to help people move through painful patterns and past experiences. These methods can ease the effects of trauma, such as anxiety, fear, or struggles in relationships, and open the way to healing and lasting change.

These difficulties include but are not limited to the following: difficulty coping with a traumatic event, poor anger management, school or social issue behavior problems, boundaries issues, and sibling rivalry.
I utilize an eclectic approach to fit and meet the needs of the individual, family, or group. I work to build autonomy and self-awareness while promoting positive change to help foster growth within the individual. This, in turn, can help the individual cope effectively and positively with past struggles while building skills for the future.

Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable— anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all-consuming.
Don’t let stress or past experiences dictate your future. I provide a safe space where you can openly express your deepest feelings and worries. Through proven therapies such as EMDR and CBT, I will help you find the peace that seems so elusive. You’ll be able to greet the day so that when the sun rises, it feels like a gift rather than a burden.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to manage everything on your own.
You may feel anxious, sad, emotionally drained, or unsure where to turn, even if you’re still showing up and functioning day to day. When stress, low mood, or constant worry start to interfere with your peace, it can be hard to know where to begin.
I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, mood changes, family dynamics, and major life transitions. Many of my clients describe feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and are looking for a safe place to talk things through and feel better.

You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected in relationships, or stuck in patterns shaped by past hurt.

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.

Therapy can be intimidating, scary and hard. Therapy is a scheduled time of being intentional with yourself.. All of us at some time face struggles and all desire connection. Unfortunately and all too often, sometimes the connections we find can leave us more empty, isolated, feeling broken and alone. As a therapist, connecting with people who are struggling and letting them know they aren't alone in their struggle is vital. Some conversations are harder than others and each is meaningful. I work with clients to bring their body into the conversation as well.

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.
