Often we look for quick fixes for life's challenges when actually they have been developing for many years - dealing with life challenges simply takes time for change. I work with a wide spectrum individuals from all types of backgrounds, histories, lifestyle orientations, faiths and severity of difficulties such as anger issues, depression, anxiety, stress management, and interpersonal trauma. Family issues include pre-marital and couple counseling, parenting issues, children, adolescents, peer relationships, grief and loss through death, adjustments due to divorce or separation, infertility and loss, domestic abuse, and life transitions.

Have you felt like giving up lately? Are you suffering from intense sadness, fear, grief, anger, guilt, or a broken heart? Has trauma or loss turned your life upside down, making it impossible for you to cope with daily life stressors and affecting your relationships or job performance? Parents, do you have children who are so disrespectful and defiant that home has become a war zone? Do they break rules and refuse to do homework and chores? You are physically and emotionally exhausted and are finding life miserable instead of joyful like it should be, correct?

The baggage we carry: stress, anger, anxiety, sadness, frustration, irritability, intrusive memories -- what if you could drop those burdens, that unbearable weight, and be your true self?

Life can be messy. Things don't always go the way we plan. When that happens, we can feel stuck. Stuck in anger, sadness, and frustration which can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness It is my belief that people have the ability and strength to cope with life's unexpected turns and disappointments. Sometimes, we just need some extra support and encouragement to understand and process our complex feelings and realize the potential and resiliency that lies within.

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.
