Anger Management Therapists in Mercer Island, WA

As a long-time teacher, I love the energy that children and teens bring to their world. When changes in the family or challenges in the child or teen's social or academic world arise, difficult emotions and related behaviors can be a problem. No matter what age, children, teens, and even parents are always learning and need support to manage those challenges.

Life is a constant battle and we do what we can to power through every day. We can't control everything that comes our way but we can learn to control how to process our environment in a way that is more constructive and less overwhelming. Is stress permeating your days? Are the smallest things causing anxiety? Do you feel easily attacked, targeted, on the defensive? When something bad happens around you, do you usually believe you are partially to blame? Difficult jobs, heavy workload, relationship struggles, family issues, and more concerns can be eased with talking it out in a safe and judgment-free space.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be uncomfortable, as growth and change happen outside of our comfort zone. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to be curious about themselves and want to create a collaborative relationship with their therapist. I place a high value on working to understand where each person has come from, to validate their experiences, and then work next to them toward their goals. Change is difficult and I deeply honor the growing pains that can come with change. Therefore, I also enjoy empowering and supporting clients to find the correct tools that can help foster their wanted growth.
