I specialize in working with men, and those they love, who are struggling with: Relationship Problems, Anger, Nurturing, Patience, Kindness, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Discernment, and PTSD.
Mental health impacts us everyday, whether we're struggling or know someone who is. As a therapist, I aim to improve the lives of those seeking help, by offering individual, couple and group therapy. It is my goal to provide my clients with hope and encouragement, when they have none. My approach is to come along side my clients, and discover with them, the awareness and skills they need to prioritize, give clarity, make changes and improve their lives.

Accepting new clients via Telehealth. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 17 years. During that time, I have repeatedly observed that each client is unique, and brings their own reasons for seeking therapy. Therefore, my challenge as a therapist is to create a different psychotherapy experience for each client. The research is clear, the most curative aspect of therapy is the relationship. I focus on connecting with a person where they are. Through new skills and insight, I help to rediscover one's authentic way of being in the world. Improved well-being comes from better care for wounded aspects of ourselves.

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.
