As your therapist, I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand and address the issues that may be causing you anxiety, depression, trauma, or anger and are preventing you from living a life of peace, purpose, and meaning.
I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective, helping clients understand the deeper patterns and experiences that shape their lives, but I also use other approaches if they move the work forward. My philosophy is simple: therapy should be thoughtful, flexible and tailored to the person sitting in front of me, not the other way around.

Stress, conflict, and overwhelming emotions often show up in patterns that shape our lives. These patterns did not appear by accident. At one point they may have helped you cope or feel safe, but over time they can begin to hold you back.

If your symptoms are real but your workup keeps coming back clean, you're not imagining it — you're in health psychology territory. Chronic pain, chronic illness, unexplained physical symptoms, the anxiety that never fully switches off, the burnout no vacation erases.

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.
