Many of the adults and children I work with struggle with anger issues, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and behavioral problems.
Life presents new challenges and changes daily. When these challenges and changes occur, it cause stress, anxiety, and makes you question certain decisions you have made. You may need to explore new options and directions for your life. My goal for each individual is to obtain a clear understanding of your needs and how we can work to establish personal growth and stability. My goal is to establish respect, compassion and trust in a nonjudgmental environment.

So often we have a desire to find someone who will truly listen to us, who can understand the challenges we face without judgment. We may need help to discover and set priorities to move forward and motivate us to live life more courageously. If you feel stuck or stagnant, experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, trauma, or grief, I would consider it an honor to partner with you in the process of healing, growth, and redirection. When we find the courage to speak out loud or express ourselves through creative means, we gain fresh insight that can lead to positive change and a healthier, more authentic way of life.

Life isn't an easy journey for anyone; whether we haven't realized that we need the extra support or we have realized it and just don't know where to start or who to turn to. I like to think of therapy as that first step of knowing where to start and who to turn to. Therapy is more than just about venting, but also about overcoming struggles and making the conscious decision and effort to move in a positive direction in life; no matter the circumstances.

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.
