I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Anger Resolution, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
Let’s be honest: Life doesn’t come with a blueprint—it just unfolds. We all face moments when we need guidance to navigate our feelings, stress, triggers, and anxiety. Sometimes, we just need a safe space to express ourselves and be true to who we are, especially in a world that often pushes us to conform. That’s where I come in. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, work through challenges, and grow into the best version of yourself.

The past few years have provided experiences of working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, Bipolar Disorder and various traumas (PTSD, emotional, sexual, parental alienation).
While it is common to feel "unraveled" when daily stressors or various traumas occur, everyone has the ability to find meaningful solutions. I believe that everyone is unique, so the solution will be different for each person. My desire is to assist clients (ages 10-90), including adolescents, adults and couples, find a balance between a healthy need for relationship and possible psychological, social or spiritual factors within a framework of personal responsibility. After teaching English and Art for 23 years, I experienced the power of expressive arts to unlock inner voices that help students/clients achieve hope and confidence.

My counseling experience has supported those of us who have experienced substance abuse, divorce, grief/loss, anger management, self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
In facing challenges we often come across during these trying times it can often leave us with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. However, we have the greater choice to respond rather than react in the most profound and positive manner to what we may encounter along this arduous road to finding a better you. Throughout this purpose driven life of mine, I have had the greatest of opportunities to build with adolescents, adults, couples, families, and large groups.

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.
