Anger Management Therapists in Ventura, CA

Are life's struggles and difficulties interfering or holding you back from being the person you want to be. If so, join me in seeking perspective and solutions to the obstacles in your life. Throughout my pre-license training and post licensure practice I have worked along side individuals who experienced anxiety, depression, and/or relationship difficulties, as well as victims of sexual assault and intimate partner violence. I specialize in helping those who struggle with addiction and/or anger issues, which often have undertones of anxiety, depression, or trauma sustaining the problem.

Seeking therapy is not easy, and you deserve the support that you’re looking for. I approach therapy from a strengths-based perspective, and my mission is to partner up with motivated individuals looking to improve their quality of life. I spend the first few sessions getting to know you as a person and learning about the issues that brought you to therapy. My job is to listen to you and provide insight and support to help you make sense of what is causing you distress and how we can move forward to help you live a happier and healthier life.

My specialties are in the areas of child and adult transitions, parenting, relationship challenges and clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mood and anger. Additionally, I have experience with families dealing with child abuse and family custody challenges. My intensive clinical training and therapeutic skills help many people navigate through life's inherent up and downs, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Coping Skills Development with a Solution-Focused approach. I like to focus on what I can do to help, keep the communication high and empower people to get motivated and active in their life solutions.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues? I’m willing to meet you where you are, help you process unwanted thoughts and emotions, and help develop an action plan to effectively cultivate your healing and growth.

Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic. Using the most appropriate and beneficial modality that fits with the client and their needs. I work collaboratively with a client to arrive at their personal goals in therapy. I have found life is a journey of learning how to live to the fullest with all the gifts that we possess and discovering others along the way. With all the experiences that we have in this life, a persons perspective makes a huge difference in how they experience it. My hope is to help find the perspective that helps alleviate suffering and creates a space for healing and thriving.
