Welcome. Addiction can be a lonely. I know you wish you could control it and have tried to many times. It is powerful and can take everything from your life you ever wanted, including your life.

If your life is unmanageable, Let me show you how to improve the quality of your life, so that you can feel comfortable looking in the mirror again.

Do you feel so overwhelmed by your emotions that you no longer can tell if you control them or if they control you? Or do you feel unhappy, lonely or tired of getting into arguments with your spouse? Are you feeling frustrated when you aren’t feeling like yourself- worried, sad, or unmotivated? Depression, stress, and anxiety can affect everything from work to relationships, not meeting goals, or even trouble completing daily tasks. Sometimes it can be challenging to understand ‘why’ or what is causing the anxious feelings.

As a psychotherapist, it is most important for me to recognize the strengths, resilience and worth of each client. Respect, compassion, warmth, genuineness, caring and an earnest desire to support and help others has always guided my practice. I have been trained in a variety of clinical psychological models and techniques. My belief that as each human being is unique, as are their problems and concerns. Therefore, I am best described as an "integrationist" weaving multiple methods to address the needs of every individual client, couple or family.

I currently have daytime openings (e.g. 9-3) for in person appointments. Are you curious about aspects of your life that have become difficult for you? I see psychotherapy as an educational process, and my role is to help you to get to know yourself in a different way. I take a stance that is non-pathologizing, and believe that everyone, no matter how many overwhelming experiences one has had, also has the capacity to heal. I am grounded in an approach based on Internal family systems (IFS), and incorporate elements of mindfulness, as well as sensorimotor psychotherapy, and attachment theories in my work.

Through partnership, trust and the sharing of knowledge, real movement can occur. There is hope. Licensed as both a mental health and addictions specialist counselor, I work with individuals and couples. I practice remotely in Rhode Island, Colorado and Florida.

I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational techniques and behavioral principles to engage you in self-discovery and problem solving. In this safe and open environment, we will uncover hidden behavioral tendencies and unhelpful thinking patterns, and we will work together to correct these issues. Becoming aware of these patterns is the key to changing them.

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.
