My work also includes conducting anger management for court ordered cases.
My therapeutic approach works with Individuals, couples, families and groups seeking to have a more integrated way to live their lives while facing the challenges that can interfere with that goal. I am a psycho-dynamically trained psychologist who finds that initially focusing on symptom relief helps the individual begin the healing process. My work centers on assisting the individual or groups to break free from past issues that interfere with the present and that may impact the future. My many years as a former psychology professor and practicing psychologist has informed my practice with the latest techniques in mental health.

Anxiety, depression, stress, anger.
If you're skeptical about starting therapy because you're not sure if you really need it, please read on. No struggle is too small or insignificant, and every difficulty becomes manageable when you're supported. I specialize in guilt, burnout, and self-actualization and I work best with motivated clients seeking relief from stress and/or sadness. If you are looking for a doctor who prefers to be called by her first name - one who is direct but not harsh, curious but un-shockable, witty but not flippant, and relatable but not overly familiar - we're probably a great fit for each other.

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.
