I primarily work with populations such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+, anger management, relationships, boundaries, and communication.
Everyone experiences life differently. Whether you are managing life changes, trying to reconcile the past, or learn new ways of communicating and coping, I believe together we can establish goals and work towards accomplishing them. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Creating a safe and collaborative space for clients is a top priority in my practice.

As a mother of 5 children with a Master's degree in Child & Adolescent Developmental Psychology and a Ph.D. in Metaphysics & Transpersonal Counseling, my approach is very holistic. My eclectic approach utilizes the hands-on experience of having had a child with autism (who is now 23 and autistic free!). Behavior is a language - what is it "saying?" is my approach. With this approach, we can help the child and family to heal and deal with the issues differently. My intention is to provide a safe space for healing to begin.

Most personal struggles and relationship issues result from problems with the relationship with the self, rooted in relational injury experienced earlier in life. Therapy involves a dual process of understanding and healing the wounds we have experienced; and healing the relationship with the self. Identifying where we are off in our relationship with ourselves helps us to improve self-esteem; have healthy, fulfilling relationships; and take charge of the areas of our lives that feel unmanageable.

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.
