Curiosity is at the heart of my work. I believe most people come to therapy because something in their life feels uncomfortable—whether they’re seeking change, healthier boundaries, stronger self‑esteem, or simply a more grounded version of themselves. Whatever your goal is, I’m here to walk alongside you. When we approach your experiences with curiosity, it opens the door to new perspectives, creative solutions, and meaningful growth.

Are you confused about your emotions or why you behave as you do? Does your partner seem like an opponent rather than a confidant and ally, or perhaps you feel deep sadness, life is dull, joyless, and wearisome. At times are you overcome by apprehension, dread, or distrustful of yourself and others? You do have the capability to move away from these concerns and develop a life that is not lived through automatic responses and unintended consequences. You have the capacity to create a life that is reflective of your values. My approach is warm, collaborative, grounded in evidence-based practices that foster meaningful change.

Eating disorders have the highest mortality of all psychiatric diagnoses. I'm a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. You aren't sick because you want to be (see Neurobiology.) The change we need to live healthy can seem more difficult than the pain. The emptiness of escapism, whether through restriction, drugs, alcohol, food, etc. obscures your potential. If it's not dangerous, you don't have to run. When you practice avoidance, you also avoid experiences producing self-trust, self-confidence and self-esteem. If you want to practice bravery, I'm here. I teach skills and assign homework. I'm willing to work as hard as you are.

My ideal client might be someone who is struggling with grief or needs support for their emotional needs. They might come to me wanting to feel lighter in this world or learn how to manage the dark days. These are generally people suffering from depression-like symptoms. Sometimes, you need an empathetic person on your side to navigate you through your journey.

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.
