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.

Waitlist for new clients
Seeking professional help is a significant and empowering personal decision. It’s an opportunity to sort through troubling thoughts and feelings, overcome obstacles, and search for new solutions and pathways for positive change and growth. It’s an acknowledgement of the desire and need to look at one’s life from a different perspective. I believe one of the most important components for guiding clients through this process is the establishment of a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. Within this framework, I strive to offer understanding, reassurance, acceptance, and hope.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot—maybe it’s the constant cycle of anxiety or OCD, the heaviness of depression, or the struggle of managing body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like hair pulling or skin picking. You might feel exhausted from second-guessing yourself, tired of intrusive thoughts running the show, or frustrated by the weight of responsibilities that leave little space for you. At the same time, you want relief. You want to feel steady, confident, and more present in your own life.

What if therapy could help you be less reactive, feel more empowered, and experience more hopeful interactions in your relationship? What if you could stay centered and speak for what you want and need, regardless of another person’s reaction? As a family therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems, or IFS, I seek to help individuals, couples, and families to explore, hear, and heal all the important, and often unrecognized, parts of themselves which influence every reaction and every choice. This inward focus removes the dependency on another person to achieve progress, opening up new possibilities for growth and change.

Screw it. I'm just going to come out and say it, no matter how unpopular such opinions may be. First, counseling is SO over-priced for (what most times) you get. Second, most counseling isn't all that good. (Sorry, that's just how I feel.) I've personally gone to too many therapists, and have had too many therapists work underneath me, not to know this for a fact. You deserve better. You deserve GOOD counseling that won't break your bank. You deserve more. You deserve something more than sympathy, validation, platitudes, or motivation. You deserve real help, real solutions, real tools. You deserve change that lasts.

Muchas veces logramos nosotros mismos vencer esos obstáculos que se nos presentan, pero en otras ocasiones necesitamos la guía de un profesional que nos escuche atentamente, sin juzgar nuestras emociones, pensamientos, conductas, y nos ayude a desarrollar estrategias para manejar y transformar esos conflictos en fortalezas.

We live in a time when self-help tools abound, yet there are times we can't meditate enough, go for a long enough run, read another book or medicate out of a difficult situation. Many of life's traumas are relational in nature. We need a therapeutic relationship to help us heal from these traumas and find new ways of interacting. We need to feel seen, heard and supported emotionally by another person. And we need to trust that what we're saying will be held in strictest confidence. Welcome to Goodwin Counseling where I am committed to helping clients live happier, healthy lives.

Are emotional highs and lows leaving you drained, disconnected, or at odds with the people you care about most? Whether you're navigating mood swings, negative self-talk, disrupted sleep, or relationship strain, sometimes all it takes is one honest outside perspective to start making sense of it. You don't have to carry this alone — and you don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out.

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.
