As a therapist I work to understand people and their life circumstances by forming a sincere, respectful, and compassionate therapeutic relationship unique to each person. I believe focusing on a range of different aspects of a person’s life helps create a more complete picture of what is keeping them stuck, unhappy, unaware, or unsatisfied. From there it’s possible to help make changes and face difficulties. In particular, I have experience working with anxiety, panic, depression, stress, PTSD, trauma, and moral injury. More generally-life adjustments, meaning/purpose, identity/self-esteem, relationship patterns, and coping.

I believe working through issues can help us manifest the life we want. Whatever struggles we experience, there is opportunity for growth and change, and we are not defined by our past. I use a collaborative process to help my clients navigate what is getting in the way of their goals and living their best life. I treat a variety of issues and needs. This includes: depression, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem problems, mood disorders, trauma, grief, loss, life changes, adjustment, transitions, and individuals and families navigating medical illnesses and end of life care.

Perhaps you've felt tired of going in circles, managing life on the surface while sensing something deeper keeps pulling you back to old patterns. You don't need to be in crisis to begin; sometimes it's a quiet readiness for things to feel different. Maybe something challenging is unfolding in a relationship, or within yourself, and surface-level coping no longer feels like enough. Together, we can blend emotional depth with practical tools, a true partnership toward reconnecting with your own capacity to heal.

Underneath our depression, sadness, anxiety, anger, heartache and hurt is a wellspring of love.
While I have a fair number of relational tools in my toolkit, I value addressing the body, mind and spirit of each of my clients. Mental causations of physical illness are discussed when needed. I help my clients rein in the "wild horses" of their mind through meditation and I work to deepen relational understandings through Vedic wisdom.

I am a Certified Dialogue Therapist, and work with couples within this framework- you can explore this work further at the Center for Real Dialogue website.

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.
