In addition to weekday hours, I do have weekend sessions that open occasionally. I specialize in meaning and perspective. Seeing the world even in a slightly new way creates opportunities to think, feel, and act differently. I aim to build self-esteem while helping clients with insight, clarity, purpose, and relief. When appropriate I like using humor. Laughing is medicinal. Humor helps makes sense of human life.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it helps to have someone who will really listen, without judgement; helping to grow skills for coping, soothing your nervous system, and managing life, emotions and relationships. Learning to give yourself a soft place to land, to gently and deeply heal. To let go and stop guarding against "All the Things"! When you give space for what you are going through, you begin to feel lighter, soften around places that were hurt, and find a way back to your true self. I support you in coming to deeply know and understand yourself, reclaiming self-worth and trust in your inner compass.

You matter. Your happiness matters. My approach is focused on helping people clarify their core values and work through psychological barriers to realizing them. It involves a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences and beliefs affect how we experience ourselves, others, and life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, not only can distressing emotions and symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and the effects of trauma be reduced, but more free, fulfilling, and enjoyable lives can be achieved.

All of us are acquainted with difficulties and hardships in life: pain and conflict within ourselves, difficulties in relationships, or stressors that were put on us from circumstances we didn’t choose or have control of. Whatever these difficulties or hardships look like in your life, big or small, you were not meant to walk through them alone.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it can also mark the beginning of meaningful change. As a solution‑focused therapist, I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify their strengths, gain insight into patterns that may be holding them back, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to understand its impact and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I provide individual therapy to adults with a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns, using an approach that is direct, supportive, and respectful.

I often say, "Being human is the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Maybe you've tried doing what’s expected but something still feels stuck. Or maybe you're dealing with problems with your partner(s) or your child is struggling, and you feel shut out, frustrated, or unsure what to do. Whether it’s anxiety or depression, OCD, eating issues, dissociation, (complex) trauma, or relationship strain, our work together is a place to slow down, sort through the noise, and finally feel like something is shifting again. This is where we stop pretending it’s fine and start figuring out what’s real.

I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.

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.
