Usually, my clients seek therapy and counseling after struggling with challenges for months and sometimes years. Over time, these same challenges create new concerns. Albert Einstein wrote that " we can't solve today's problems with the mentality that created them" With this in mind, it is better to seek professional services and resources: Recognizing you're not alone in this healing process.

Providing supervision to LPC and LMFT Clinical Residents. As the spouse of a retired military service member, my passion is working with people whose work is serving others; military service members, health care professionals, government employees and teachers. I am a systems therapist and look at how each person is impacted by their entire system i.e. family, friends, work and school. My goal is to help people learn more about themselves, the choices they make, how they communicate with others and how they cope with the stresses of life. Together we will work towards meeting your specific and unique treatment goals.

I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck in painful cycles of disconnection, even when there's love underneath. You may be having the same arguments on repeat, feeling more like roommates than partners, or struggling with mismatched desire and unmet emotional needs. Often, one partner asks for more while the other feels overwhelmed or shuts down—not because they don't care, but because they feel lost about how to fix it.
Whether you're coming in together or on your own, we work to understand the deeper patterns driving your relationship dynamics. My approach helps you slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath.

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
Life can be full of questions—and sometimes, the biggest one is simply: What is life? That’s something we can explore together. I’m passionate about supporting young families, adults, and adolescents as they navigate the challenges and transitions that life brings. Whether you’re trying to make sense of relationships, discover your identity, manage financial stress, or juggle growing responsibilities, it’s easy for your mental health to slip into autopilot. But what if we paused and took a deeper look? What if you had the space to uncover what’s been holding you back—and start moving forward.

Life gets heavy. Sometimes it's life, work — what you've seen, what you carry home. Sometimes it's wounds that go way back — childhood, abuse, trauma, things that were never your fault but shaped you anyway. Sometimes it's a relationship, a transition, or just the slow buildup of too much for too long.
Whether you're a veteran, first responder, kid, teen, or adult trying to figure out the next season of your journey, you don't have to sort through it alone. Just show up as you are — we'll take it from there, together.

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.
