I have advanced training in trauma & PTSD, anger management skills, anxiety, etc.
Does the noise in your head feel overwhelming? Feeling angry, anxious, hopeless, or wanting to stop the constant "shit show" you've been living? Maybe you're tired of waking up every single day wanting to stay in bed. I get it; you're frustrated & overwhelmed; feel like you have no control & it's hard to trust or get close to anyone. And your self-esteem, boundaries, & relationships probably suck & that pisses you off even more. The lifetime of hits just won't stop coming. I can help - w/ the thoughts, images, shame, & demons yelling in your head. I can help you turn it off & help make life livable again.

Relationships can be complicated! All of us need help navigating the rough waters of our relationships. Whether in marriage or parenting, with extended family, or friends and loved ones, we find ourselves hurt by the people we care about the most. And sometimes we hurt them back. That isn't who we really want to be, but we don't know another way. We're stuck in a cycle of anger and distancing. Conflict is inevitable. Thankfully, resolution of conflict is possible. We are created to have meaningful relationships and my aim in therapy is to help you learn how to have them.

We all have painful memories, relationship stress and disappointment to work through - big things and small. When left unaddressed, they show up as anxiety, anger, perfectionism or depression, limiting our ability to be at peace with ourselves and others. Maybe something in your life just doesn't feel right, or you're just tired of carrying everything by yourself. You want to step into new ways of being in the world, free from the shame, fear and pain that have been weighing you down. Taking the first step towards getting help is incredibly vulnerable, and I promise to honor the strength it took to get here.

I help clients learn specific strategies to stabilize mood, decrease anxiety, and improve attentional/ anger control/ communication skills.
After 25 years, I still absolutely love what I do and look forward with excitement to learning what makes each individual who enters my office unique. I picture myself in the person's shoes and try to see the world from their perspective to learn their strengths, struggles, goals and needs. I see therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapist assists the client in identifying and achieving specific goals. We clarify, refine, and adjust these goals throughout the therapeutic process.

We talk about how fear and anger serve us or how they work against our interests.
Are you stuck? You may find yourself stuck and unable to change recurring disturbing emotions, troubling thoughts and destructive behaviors. Past traumatic events may fuel painful feelings, disturbed thinking, relationship problems and hurtful actions. Eliminating ghosts from the past begins the process of enduring change and healing.

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.
