I specialize in helping people who are struggling with managing stress, anger, life transitions, and relationships by teaching emotion regulation skills, communication and coping skills, boundary setting, and assertiveness.
Beginning therapy is a positive step in helping you create the life that is right for you. At some point in our lives we are faced with challenging circumstances and finding a place to explore those worries can be a challenge in itself. I can help. As a therapist I aim to guide and support my clients through their struggles by providing a safe environment to explore their concerns and help them learn skills that lead to life-long, positive change. Therapy offers the chance to share without judgement and understand yourself on a deeper level so each decision you make is in alignment with who you are and what you want.

Life continually poses many challenges. Most of the time we are able to manage and cope with these stressors quite well. At times, however, life may become so overwhelming and the pressure becomes so great that it begins to affect our work, our relationships with those we love and our overall outlook on life. As a counselor my job is to help you find manageable solutions to seemingly unmanageable life circumstances. I have experience working with young adults and adults facing a variety of issues, some of which include addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, codependency and anger management.

My practice is dedicated to helping you gain control over the difficult things in your life, gain an understanding of how different experiences have impacted you, and help you become the person that you have always wanted to be. Peace, control, and understanding are all possible. You are not alone, you are not damaged, or broken; you are human.

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.
