Merrill, WI 54452
My ideal client is someone who knows, deep down, that something has to shift. They may not have all the answers (yet), but they’re done dancing in circles — ready to break old patterns, call themselves out (with love), and lean into real, lasting change. Whether they’re 19 or 79, single and soul-searching or in a relationship that feels more like a roommate situation than a romance, they’re craving clarity, connection, and that click — the internal shift that changes everything. They’re open-minded but want grounded tools. They’re not here for fluff — they want the truth, even if it stings a little (or a lot).

I use formal testing, actuarial predictive instruments, review of records, collateral information and clinical interview to formulate my recommendations. I also see therapy clients with whom I use an approach integrating mindfulness and cognitive therapy.

An ideal client is someone who is willing to take that first brave step—reaching out for the help they know they need. Often, making the initial call is the hardest part, which is why it’s also the most powerful. The purpose of therapy is to support you in achieving your personal goals through open, honest, and meaningful conversations. Therapy is not an overnight solution; it’s a journey that takes time, commitment, and mutual effort between the client and therapist. Every client has the right to confidentiality—and the right to a therapist who truly cares.

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.
