My goal as a therapist is to help you discover true connection within yourself and to others through deep exploration of your past experiences, and future hopes and desires. Together we can find the healing and change you may be looking for, and develop a strong sense of self through strength based approaches, mindfulness techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Trained in a psychodynamic approach, we will explore the unconscious mind and help bring awareness to your thoughts and patterned behaviors. I also use modalities such as EMDR and Neurofeedback to help calm and stabilize clients and work through traumas.

I came to Woodhaven with a wealth of life experience in both the arts and human services. I worked as a professional musician for many years, which connected me to some of the most vulnerable populations, including the aging, chronically ill and those experiencing grief and sadness. I learned that creativity and healing are intimately linked and you invariably need one to pursue the other. My unique path has given me valuable insight into the human experience, which is something that we all share. I am particularly interested in the innate ability we all have to strive towards hope and healing.

You are capable and it's easy to create superhuman expectations for yourself. But when you are a helper who is supposed to have it all together all of the time, you can become exhausted, burned out, depressed, isolated, numb, anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, resentful, and traumatized. Your sleep, job performance, and relationships can suffer. You might even experience compassion fatigue as you operate more and more in survival mode. But you are not alone. And you’re in the right place.

Everybody struggles. Everybody. This is one of the most important life lessons that I have learned. Many people look around and believe that others do not struggle with things in life. They internalize this and then think there is something wrong with them. Realizing the struggles life brings is what drew me to counseling. Working through my own personal struggles has helped me to develop compassion for those who are currently facing challenges in their lives. I am inspired to be in a profession that can assist others to also regain hope and resolve struggles and symptomatic patterns.

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.
