If something feels out of balance or lacking in your life, causing you anxiety, depression, anger, self-doubt, confusion, or a feeling of things being out of control, then my approach to counseling can help.
From my broad experience I will work with you to develop an individually tailored approach that will facilitate the change and healing you desire. This might include various mindfulness practices, emotion and body awareness, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral work, or various other approaches. EMDR is a regularly part of my clinical practice.

Change is inevitable. So what happens when the consequences of the change are so negative they severely impact our lives? We sometimes feel stuck, unsure of what direction to proceed. In my practice, WalkinTalkinTherapy, I provide an avenue to address these changes by combining the simplicity of walking outdoors with talk therapy. Advocates of the combined approach say that being active during the session helps patients relax and open up - scientists have long known that a workout can temporarily boost serotonin levels and improve mood, the latest research shows that exercise can have a deeper and more lasting effect.

Are you concerned that your substance use is causing some problems for you? Substance use is on a continuum, with abstinence on one end and severe abuse, or addiction, on the other. Historically, approaches to substance use treatment have been binary—you either use or you do not. While this approach is effective for some people, for most it feels restrictive and at times punitive. The goal of therapy is for you to determine—you may want to examine your use, minimize it, work toward ceasing use all together or even maintain positive changes you have already made.

Together, we will explore the stumbling blocks and discover new pathways to live into our values and ultimately into the people we want to become.

I believe in client feedback for setting goals and evaluating whether therapy is working for them. It's not my goals or "success rate" that is important but what the client experiences. I value working with clients who know what a 'better life' will look like, will work on getting there, and will provide feedback about progress or resistence. Of course I'm there to provide help when stuck but I value clients to provide their feedback and be engaged in the therapeutic process.

Like most of my clients, I have my own share of childhood trauma. I’ve had to deconstruct the childhood messages that told me I wasn't OK as me; I wasn't enough. I’ve had to learn to set boundaries and learn that I’m not required to put others' needs above my own. I've had to learn how to have relationships, to trust others, and to trust myself. The very path that many of you are starting out on, I have walked myself. This journey is about taking away the power of the past and learning to believe you aren't just faking your successes. I’ve worked hard to reclaim my own story, now I want to help you reclaim yours.

Common issues: stress, burnout, anger, anxiety, ADHD patterns, relationship conflict, life transitions, and leadership challenges.
I lean towards targeted therapy with clear, measurable goals. Sessions are active and directive: we define targets, build small experiments, track progress, and untangle barriers. I blend CBT/ACT, skills, habit design, and communication tools so you leave each session with a plan or at least something new to chew on, and the accountability to follow through.

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.
