Anger Management Therapists in Lakeway, TX

Finding the right therapist can be a difficult and overwhelming process. There seems to be an endless array of choices, and it's so important to find the right fit for you. In order to help make this process easier, I offer and encourage you to interview me over the phone, and I will be happy to answer any questions about therapy or the therapeutic process. I am skilled in working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues using an individualized approach. I have been in practice since 1990 and have extensive inpatient and outpatient experience.

It can be very frustrating to be misunderstood by your spouse or your partner. You probably have a hard time communicating with each other. You probably find yourselves fighting about seemingly minor issues. You might be hurting and even feel a great deal of anger and resentment. You tried hard to fix the situation yourself or even hoped it would go away but you always seem to end up fighting again. You may even feel defeated because of the frequent arguing and worried about the future of your relationship. You know its time to get some help.

I approach therapy as a partnership with my clients in which you are the ultimate decision maker and I work with you to clear away obstacles and identify opportunities. My clients have successfully overcome or managed depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, marital stress, parent-child difficulties, domestic violence, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and anger issues.

I am a Psychologist and Cognitive Behavior therapist with over 30 years of experience helping clients with addiction, anxiety, high sensory sensitivity, depression, stress, and anger issues.

Licensed since 1993 and in private practice since 1999. Previous work-related experience includes working at a residential treatment center, youth shelter, juvenile detention center, chemical dependency unit, adolescent and adult in-patient hospital, Employee Assistance Program, crisis intervention, in-take assessments, and intensive out-patient programming. Over the past two decades, I have served individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. I am a certified and approved DOT Substance Abuse Professional.

My approach to therapy is based on each individual’s inner strength and resources, and resiliency to every day stress and adversities that life tends to present. I focus on practical applications drawn from various theories as a means to provide each individual the most meaningful treatment for healing and change. One of the most empowering and healing methods I use in my psychotherapy is creating a caring, collaborative relationship built on mutual trust and respect, providing a safe environment free from judgment, and support through active listening and empathy.

I work with adults, children and adolescent who struggle with stress, self-esteem, difficult behaviors, screen time/technology addiction, history of trauma or abuse, relationships, school or big life transition such as divorce, death, or illness - or those with anxiety or depression with no known trigger. I provide a safe therapeutic space to work through emotions and build on coping strategies. While much of my practice is dedicated to child/adolescent clients, I see adults and couples, especially those impacted by cancer, bereavement, neurodiversity (ADHD, Gifted/2e/Autistic) burnout, addictions, trauma or parenting concerns.

I consider myself privileged, if not honored, to walk through the life journeys of my clients. I work in a collaborative and facilitative manner with those struggling in relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or work/family issues to name a few. Working with couples and post-menopausal women and their individual struggles in their transitions is also something I enjoy. I believe therapy should be client-centered, goal oriented and short term in nature.

I have been in private practice for 16 years and offer psychotherapy for adults 21 and over. I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, OCD, loss and relationship concerns. I incorporate faith-based principles as desired and am inclusive of all backgrounds and orientations. Typically, I work from a cognitive-behavioral approach and I include other theoretical frameworks to provide more effective outcomes. It would truly be my honor and privilege to help anyone seeking growth and fulfillment in life.

Reaching out to ask for help when we are struggling is one of the biggest favors we can do for ourselves. Just as our physical health is important to maintain functioning in every day life, so is our mental health and well being. I strive to help clients get back to finding their optimal balance in life by addressing concerns they have in all aspects of their life whether it be relationship and interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or trauma that is preventing them from living their best life.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY result from an unconscious refusal to move through the pain of withdrawal (from a chemical, thought-process, behavior, other person, etc.). The behavior gets repeated, accompanied by cycles of disappointment, shame, GRIEF, frustration and isolation. Having experienced this same cycle (more than once) I bring years of education, training, personal recovery experiences and compassion to our therapeutic relationship. My PERSONAL therapeutic process is on-going. I would be honored to help you in yours. EASY? Nope. WORTH IT? Yes!

My practice embraces an all-encompassing approach toward making changes in multiple areas of your life based on Albert Ellis's theory of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Ellis believed that if you change your thinking, you can change your life. I believe it is important to explore multiple areas of your life and the beliefs you act upon in order to discover opportunities where you can implement empowering changes. I practice from a Christian perspective but welcome clients from any faith. I want my clients to feel empowered, encouraged and educated during the counseling process.
