In therapy, anxiety transforms into empowering self-talk, depression is given a light to leave the darkness, parents reparent themselves and in-turn reclaim the joys of parenthood, anger is channeled into assertiveness, and your inner dialogue is rewritten into one of self-worth.
IFS Therapy - Now Accepting Kaiser - You are here because you are hurting and searching...searching for peace, healing, confidence, motivation, reassurance. You keep trying something new only to be let down. You're scared to ask for help, and you're not sure what therapy entails, but I bet if you are here, you are tired of looking. Now what if I told you that you already have what you are looking for inside of you? You may not believe it right now...but what if? What if all you needed was a guide to help you discover an inner sanctuary found within? This is where I can help.

Specialties include: relationships, anger management, communication, self esteem, divorce recovery, and issues of faith.
Moving through life is like writing a book. We are all composing our own stories. Sometimes we get stuck, due to choices, events or behaviors. It’s like a bookmark getting put in the pages of our story and when we try to move forward, the pages fall open to that bookmarked, painful memory. With the help of therapy, we can heal from that pain and take the bookmark out of the book of our life. The pages remain, but they serve to make us stronger & wiser as we fill in the empty page before us today. By learning new skills and gaining the ability to adapt, we can move forward with a sense of purpose and peace.

Job loss, hospitalizations, car wrecks, and difficulties with loved ones, can leave one feeling decimated and alone. You might feel like you’re walking around chronically stressed. Anger can get explosive, or you may feel numb, dazed, or flat out not sure what to do. But you do know what you have going on right now isn’t right. Therapy can help you overcome these problems.

I have training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR to address post-traumatic stress, relational wounds, anger issues, and substance use.
My ideal clients are people who are interested in working on themselves and value personal growth; who share a passion for removing the blocks to intimate connections with themselves and others. I like working with people who have a hard time yielding into connection—who are often excellent givers but have a more difficult time receiving. I enjoy working with individuals who are successful, powerful, or workaholics who struggle with intimacy and connection and who have found external solutions such as achievement, sex, alcohol, exercise, etc. to be lacking in providing a sense of ease, meaning and comfort to their lives.

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.
