Anger Management Therapists in Torrance, CA

Are you interested in direct feedback and skills that you can bring home and do something with? Do you need to be called out every once in a while? If you need more interaction than someone who nods knowingly and repeats everything you say back to you, I am a good fit for you. I don't believe therapy should be a mystical process. Therapy is a tool that is designed to help you navigate the murky waters, feel connected to all of your emotions, and help challenge behaviors that may have once served you and no longer do.

I bring simple communication skills to the table for couples or families stuck in angry stances. I help each person feel heard, listened to and understood, helping them learn how to come alongside each other with empathy and insight instead of competing and blaming. Taking responsibility and learning when they are projecting their own feelings onto others instead of owning their own emotions. I also work with individual adults and children to help them deal with the trauma and drama of their past before they can effectively maintain healthy relationships in the present.

Troubled by feelings of overwhelming anger, sadness, anxiety, family and relationship problems, communication struggles, daily stress, parent/child stress, a "terrible" teen, self esteem worries, or addiction/food issues? There is relief from these problems and the pain they cause to you. At your own pace let's get to the root of the problem so it can be managed and hopefully eliminated. Seeking therapy can be overwhelming and scary, but you have already taken the first step just by searching this site. Let's do the rest of the work together!

Are you a child, adolescent or adult having difficulty functioning at work, school, or in relationships?

Change is necessary at the mind, body and spiritual level for adaptation to occur. We will work together through your transformation. You can learn new ways to tolerate what has been overwhelming and you can develop new, healthier coping skills to help you manage what was formerly intolerable about daily living.

I have a specialization working with couples, families and individuals; as well as substance abuse/chemical dependency and addiction treatment (porn, sex & gambling).

Clients in relationships with loved ones addicted or abusing substances can benefit from therapy to learn how to take care of themselves so as to limit the toxicity of the proximity
