Anger Management Therapists in Olympia, WA
Clients I work with often navigate: persistent self-criticism or shame, histories of trauma, difficulty managing anger or emotional intensity, grief, or life transitions that feel disorienting.
I specialize in trauma-informed care that honors the complexity of your lived experience. My approach is relational, culturally responsive, and grounded in awareness of the nervous system. I use an integrative approach because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, drawing on interventions such as Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and a strengths-based approach.

I believe that your experiences do not determine who you are, but help shape the view you have on the world. You are not wrong, bad, broken, or needing fixed. It is okay to ask for help understanding the thoughts and feelings that can be painful and confusing.

I specialize in supporting new and expectant parents. I have expertise in the treatment of perinatal mood disorders and trauma. I know firsthand that there is no job more challenging—or more sacred—than that of a parent. As parents we often feel guilt, disappointment, grief, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, or self-doubt. Albeit painful, these emotions can be powerful catalysts for healing and growth. I help parents shift out of fear based emotions and into love so that they can be more joyful and fully present for both themselves and their children.

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.
