We inhabit a world that demands that we constantly cope with it. At times, with all the coping, a part of our spirit may become so heavy with ache and despair that we begin to wish that part would vanish forever so we can find relief. But it is often that very part calling out for care, love, and tenderness. Perhaps you are tired of "coping," and you ache for healing, a greater capacity to truly rest, or a stronger sense of meaning and self-love. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ folks, or abuse survivors - adults who deal with profound personal trauma and loss, issues of identity, depression, anxiety, shame, and loneliness.

My ideal clients are people navigating grief — the loss of a loved one, a relationship, an identity, or a life they thought they'd have. Many come to me feeling like they have to hold it together for everyone else, especially those who've spent their lives being "the strong one."

Together, we untangle the patterns keeping you stuck, using evidence-based tools alongside real, honest conversation — so you can move forward without abandoning yourself along the way.

Couples often come to therapy when communication has broken down, trust feels fragile, or every conversation turns into an argument.
If you and your partner feel stuck in the same painful patterns, arguing about the same issues, shutting down, or feeling more like roommates than partners, you are not alone. Many couples wait until things feel urgent or overwhelming before reaching out, and therapy can be a powerful turning point when both partners are ready for change.

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.
