I work with those who struggle with anger.
I also work with individuals who struggle with relationship issues due to anger, domestic violence, or sexual addiction. When desires go unfulfilled partners become resentful or angry and seek sexual gratification elsewhere. I believe through self-exploration and personal insight, the individual can gain understanding in overcoming their difficulties.

Do you need to:

In our work, you will develop behavioral and emotional self-awareness, identify triggers and underlying causes, and develop effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that will help you manage your anger, anxiety (and other issues) with more calm and confidence.

I work with people who struggle to manage anger, who are struggling to create and maintain emotional and relational intimacy, people who are finding it hard to manage loss, political stress, anxiety, and depression.
I seek to create a warm, down-to-earth, and accepting experience for you to explore the hard-ass things in life. Many of us, myself included, were rarely taught how to connect with and understand our emotions, and so when we experience difficult feelings like sadness, disappointment, shame, fear, grief, and pain, we don’t know how to engage them in a helpful way. But that can change. We will work together to promote positive change and restore direction, meaning, and resilience during these difficult times. We will be partners in our work together.

If you struggle with anger, stress, and/or relationship conflict, I can help you understand what's going on and teach you effective, empowering, and expedient ways of growing stronger through your struggle.
The problem with most approaches to anger management is that they teach that anger is an emotion. Sorry, but I don't know how to control an emotion. Ever heard of a Sadness Management class? Me neither. What if I said that anger is a defensive state of mind triggered by a perceived threat? What is the key word in that definition? That's right, perceived.

Is that battle with your thoughts or feelings leaving you completely drained? Are you tired of the endless tug-of-war with those nagging voices in your head—telling you you’re not good enough, that you’ll never succeed, or silencing you with a harsh “just get over it”?

Maybe it’s time to switch things up and try something new—something that helps you experience life in full technicolor, embracing both the highs and lows, in a way that feels meaningful and brings you back to life.

Therapy can be about growth, healing, and processing grief, shame, anger, fear etc.
Counseling with me is not just “talking about problems” but looking at all of you and identifying how to help you feel more alive. I called my practice OpenHand Counseling as I believe almost anything worthwhile in life requires us to trust, collaborate, and extend ourselves.

In difficult situations we might shut down, have a hard time identifying or communicating needs, experience anxiety or struggle with anger.
As a South Asian woman from India, I'm familiar with the struggles of navigating different cultural values. I approach conversations on cultural identity, boundary setting, dealing with relational conflict and so on in a way that is authentic to you while also keeping your background in mind. I use a trauma-informed lens to therapy.

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.
