Anger Management Therapists in Queen Anne, Seattle, WA

If you struggle with anger, stress, and/or relationship conflict, I can help you understand what's going on and teach you effective, empowering, and expedient ways of growing stronger through your struggle. Remember, struggling is not the problem, struggling is a part of life, it's about learning to "struggle well." If you're tired of constantly struggling to understand; if the frustration is overwhelming; if your relationship, your job, or even your freedom is on the line, I can help.

I seek to create a warm, down-to-earth, and accepting experience for you to explore the hard-ass things in life. Many of us, myself included, were rarely taught how to connect with and understand our emotions, and so when we experience difficult feelings like sadness, disappointment, shame, fear, grief, and pain, we don’t know how to engage them in a helpful way. But that can change. We will work together to promote positive change and restore direction, meaning, and resilience during these difficult times. We will be teammates in our work together.

The best is yet to be! I strive to offer a positive atmosphere for real personal change. Helping people learn to manage and cope with emotions like, fear, frustration, sadness and worry is my specialty. Self defeating behavioral patterns that involve anger, phobias, procrastination, or poor impulse control can also be addressed. I assists individuals and couples by providing skills-based counseling so they can live life more peacefully and productively.

I have been a child and family therapist since 2009, and volunteered in the field of grief and loss for 14 years, working with grieving children (ages 3 to 18) who lost a loved one. I'm client-centered and strengths-based, and believe my job is to try to understand how my client's brain works, to best assist each individual understand her/ himself. I have learned from the last 9 years working with a wide variety of amazing individuals that I must be very creative and flexible. I'm grateful for how much I have and continue to learn from my clients.

Is there something or someone weighing you down and zapping your energy? Have you tried to resolve it, yet it only gets worse? Does it make it hard to see a path foreword? Many of my clients come to me with this dilemma. I care deeply about my clients and will work hard for you to reach your goals. I am passionate about helping you to feel heard, know your own strengths and get you moving foreword. If this sounds good, call me. Let's talk . . .

Thank you for reaching out for help. I want to provide a safe space for you to express uncomfortable feelings and thoughts, and explore your well intentioned motivations and find some peace of mind.

Being alive in a complex and unknown world is difficult, as humans we are daily managing our emotions, instincts, desires, frustrations, confusions, and joys. This is no simple task, and difficult to do alone. That is where the work of psychotherapy comes in to provide a path forward. By creating a space of acceptance, presence, and honesty together we can move towards building more security and freedom to live and enjoy life.

Greetings. I believe a calm, congruent, and genuine approach in psychotherapy is essential and that your sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship is crucial. I take a respectful and affirming stance toward my clients, and believe that therapy is a collaborative process. My goal is to create a deeply supportive environment of trust and acceptance where we can safely discover and explore.

I work well with individuals who find themselves struggling with various issues and are in need of a safe place to talk about them. Perhaps the idea of change or addressing things scares you or you're not sure where to begin or what you're looking for. I am happy to hold space for you and go on that journey with you. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and while I may have education and experience, at the end of the day you're the expert of you and I'm there to help support and guide anyway I can.

There are a number of reasons people choose to seek out therapy: grief and loss, an unexpected crisis, or a difficult life transition just to name a few. But when you are dealing with increased stress or feeling "stuck," it can be even more difficult to manage life's challenges or utilize former ways of coping in an effective way. Whatever your reason for seeking out therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space to explore existential questions, gain a fresh perspective, and build hope that change is possible.

As a Child & Family Therapist, I help your child or teen navigate through important life challenges. I strive to create a safe space where children can feel comfortable and understood, making it easier for them to engage with therapy in a beneficial way.

I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

I approach my counseling with a belief that all children and young people have the potential to make positive change for themselves and for the world around them. I adapt my therapeutic approach to the client but often utilize strength-based counseling, positive talk therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to encourage personal growth while I coach and help guide the way. I believe counseling has the power to change the direction of your life, by developing techniques, skills, and perspective that builds confidence and creates social emotional growth that lasts a lifetime.

I believe that one of the greatest ways that we can empower ourselves to navigate a wide variety of issues is by developing self-awareness and self-compassion. I enjoy working with clients who want a collaborative relationship with their therapist and are willing to approach our work with curiosity and an open mind. I also love to empower individuals and partners with the tools they need to create the changes they seek in their own lives, which requires a mutual investment in and commitment to our work together.

I have been working with children and families, teens and young adults for more than 30 years. With genuine warmth and hopeful optimism I connect with individuals through virtual counseling or (weather permitting) as we walk and talk on Alki. Building a supportive relationship is foundational to helping clients understand and manage emotions, gain skills for communication and work through life’s challenges. Every one of us must learn to understand, appreciate and accept ourselves as unique individuals. Helping others find their voice in this process is my goal and great joy.

My goal is to help clients transform their pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I welcome individuals who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong" as well as people who have experienced abuse or struggle with negative self image and a harsh inner critic. I believe that our ability to heal is connected to, and reliant upon our connections with each other. I work virtually with clients all over Washington state.

Life can be difficult, but having the right support along the way can make all the difference. I believe that everyone has the strength and ability to create meaningful growth and lasting change. I work with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-worth, burnout, relationship dynamics, and specific phobias. I am passionate about helping clients recognize and change unhelpful patterns while also healing the underlying trauma from the past that often shows up in the present.

I specialize in relationship counseling that includes couples therapy and family counseling services for those interested in making dynamic, lasting changes in their lives and relationships with others.

Life's challenges—whether rooted in relationships, personal history, or societal pressures—can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I offer a unique blend of experiential, context-rich psychotherapy to help you navigate these struggles. Together, we'll explore the intricate web of your experiences, addressing issues like self-doubt, loneliness, burnout, and dread. My approach goes beyond quick fixes, diving deep into the core of your concerns to foster lasting relief and improved well-being. We'll focus on practical strategies that help you manage current challenges while building resilience for future obstacles.
