Specialty areas include: working with young adults, substance abuse, motivational problems, health related behaviors, addictions and anger management.
My approach to therapy is collaborative in nature. Rather than me being the expert and you the client, the approach provided assumes dual expertise between us. That is, I work with you to build a relationship, provide a comfortable atmosphere and then we (as a team) decide what the treatment plan will be. Only you can decide what's important and, what you are willing and ready to do. My job is to work with you from a holistic approach and accentuate your strengths, affirm your innate abilities and evoke and assist change if indicated.

As someone specializing in psychoanalysis, I've learned that there are a myriad of causes that contribute to the stress, anger, anxiety, rage, hatred, and depression we may experience in life. Whether they be associated with the failures of caregivers, unmet needs, not feeling loved or wanted, relationship issues, or feeling as if one has no purpose in life, psychoanalysis has a way of addressing, working through, and resolving the psychological conflicts that emerge in one's life. The effects of working through troubling feelings not only alleviates suffering, it also results in more experiences of pleasure and happiness.

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.
