I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

Waitlist for new clients
Every pre-teen, teen, and young adult deserves a place where they can explore their story and feelings, without judgment or discrediting their experiences. I want to walk alongside the younger members of our community by helping work through issues related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, or those struggling to communicate thoughts and feelings in relationships.

Many of my clients suffer from depression and/or anxiety and substance abuse and respond best to CBT and mindfulness techniques. They mostly request the alleviation of symptoms and to learn how to relax. I also deal with several women who have relationship issues, such as absent fathers and trust issues. I use a forgiveness curriculum in part to assist them with these issues.

How are you? No really, how are YOU? How often are you asked this question towards yourself or regarding your family and you answer with “fine”, “great”, “we’re good”, or “I’m great”, knowing that couldn’t be further from the truth? Are you or someone in your family really fighting something that would take too much time or too personal to unpack with friends or family? Is it easier for you to pretend that things are great, hoping that they eventually pass?

In the decades I have worked with clients, I have come to deeply appreciate and respect the strength and resilience of the human spirit. I work with clients to connect with and build on these inherent strengths, enabling them to replace anxiety, depression, and the effects of traumatic experiences with an enhanced sense of empowerment over their lives. Present moment living and conscious choices replace worry and regret. Small deliberate changes can yield significant results. I believe that problems are better viewed as important opportunities for understanding, growth, healing, and change. My approach is holistic and integrative

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.
