I conceptualize therapy as a collaborative process in which therapist and client determine treatment content and goals, working to create an environment of compassion, challenge and insight capable of motivating those disruptive changes which constitute so much of the meaning of therapy. In attempting to individualize treatment, I cultivate an integrative responsiveness utilizing those techniques that seem best able to serve the client's needs and promote therapeutic goals. Often these goals extend beyond symptom relief to include the enhancement of psychological capacities and resources through self exploration and discovery in the context of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship.

Currently accepting new clients. Life can be complicated: relationships, family, work, school. Our lives are further challenged by the unique aspects of our times. We are under constant bombardment of information, straining our ability to focus and compartmentalize. Factors such as trauma, shame and guilt further complicate things. My approach is to help clients become the objective observer of their experience. This means helping people untangle their thoughts, pressures and feelings, while learning how to recognize, manage and alleviate the symptoms and behaviors that are causing distress.

Psychotherapy is feeling. Feeling our emotions fully is the healing process that directly impacts our power to change, our health, and our effectiveness in life. When we accept our suffering as valuable information to be learned from instead of eliminated we access our capacity for real growth. This kind of transformation breaks us free from defensive patterns and pulls us to love, support, and forgive ourselves and others. As a therapist I help people live fulfilling lives, enjoy satisfying relationships, do their best work, and develop a deeper awareness and curiosity about their inner emotional experiences.

You want to feel different than you do right now. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge. Maybe relationships are coming apart or dissolving out from under you. Maybe the grief feels too heavy to hold, or you're tired of feeling like you don't belong. It doesn't have to be like this forever. I’ve seen how the brain and body respond to hard things. Our brains develop patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior to protect us–but sometimes the patterns backfire and cause problems. Have trouble sleeping? Eat or work or worry too much? Yell at people? Feel disconnected from reality? That all comes from somewhere.

Let’s be honest: being LGBTQ+ can be exhausting.
If you’re carrying minority stress, managing family dynamics, and trying to live authentically while still dealing with anxiety, past rejection, and feeling unseen in relationships—you're not alone.
When you’re stuck in a loop of isolation and emotional burnout, it can start to feel impossible to move forward. You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or defend your identity.
I work with clients ready to heal from the past, embrace their authentic selves, and build a life they truly love.

"Long-lasting responses to trauma result not simply from the experience of fear and helplessness but also from how our bodies interpret those experiences." (Rachel Yehuda) Trauma can be thought of as an experience that overwhelms the individual's ability to process the event as it is happening. I work with adults who have been impacted by trauma, to help bring relief to their lives. By partnering with individuals to help release burdens and stress, we help you create a fresh, new framework for future experiences.

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.
