As a result of many years working as a psychotherapist with both adult male and female clients, I discovered that behind most of my clients’ problems was intense anger and rage. I saw the devastating effects it had on their functioning in all areas of life as well as the overwhelming stress it put on them. Anger is closely associated with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fear, sexual and many other behavioral and physical health problems. My experience and education is now directed towards helping both females and males 20 to 80 years old to regulate and manage their emotions & feelings well, esp. since post covid restrictions.

I offer support for individuals wondering how to free themselves from limiting narratives; questioning the connection between past experiences and current patterns; processing grief from loss or major life change; seeking healing from intergenerational trauma. “Your coping behaviors show you what needs witnessing, caring for, and unburdening. If we can just approach them with curiosity and compassion, we might find what is underneath it all.” (Natalie Gutiérrez, LMFT) I offer an approach that leads with compassion and curiosity and support you to hold this for yourself.
