Anger Management Therapists in Shawnee Mission, KS

I believe a positive relationship with your therapist is one of the most important factors in the success of treatment. I ask you to bring an open mind and commitment to your journey to each session.

I help a lot of people struggling with anger, but I also help people struggling with anxiety, depression, marital issues, and life's struggles.

People often feel stuck, unhappy, and dissatisfied with the direction of life, career path, or relationships. Would you like to see changes in your life, but don't know where to start? I want to help you and may have shared some of the same feelings myself. I have experienced the challenges of being a non-traditional student and have started a new career later in life - increasing my understanding of ways to approach life transitions. Whether your challenges are related to career, relationships, or to your general well-being, we can work together to create the changes you want.

Did you feel neglected and unloved when you were a child? Did you feel lonely and ostracized if you tried to tell your parents or other adults about your feelings or if you tried to ask them questions about life? In your adult life, do you have difficulty relating to others? Do you feel depressed and alienated from others? Do you have difficulty knowing your own feelings or how you feel in your own body? Are you afraid to trust yourself, to be yourself? I've worked for 20 years with adults abused, traumatized, and/or neglected in childhood. .

Life can be messy at times. We can get overwhelmed by everyday events, unexpected surprises-both good and not so good- and the expectations of others around us. In some cases, we're still dealing with the past and can't even begin to solve today's issues.

Do You Need Help With: Those important relationships in your life? Are you or a loved Ione struggling with addictions issues?

Mental health is part of your physical health. You cannot have one without the other. No one is exempt from facing mental health struggles at one time or another in their life. It is not uncommon during times of mental health struggles, either it be an isolated incident of panic, short-term and long-term anxiety, tragedy, situational depression, or circumstances that were out of your control that caused you to have a "new normal." Therapy will alleviate these stressors through a process of personal insight, change, and opening your eyes to a new way of seeing your life and how you react to it.

Being a parent is a joy like none other. This may however become challenging if your child (especially a teenager) battles emotional, behavioral, eating disorders, lack of confidence or addiction problems. Teenagers with these issues often argue, have hard time expressing emotions, have disruptive behavior, sudden change in eating habits and conscious of their body image. They might resort to use of alcohol or other drugs to escape struggles. This does not mean you are a bad parent; it is just a difficult time for your family. You just need someone to walk you through during this difficult time.

Are you feeling frustrated in an important relationship? Have you lost your sense of purpose and direction in your career or life in general?

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I joined Therapy Lab (www.therapylab.com) January 2021, where I am excited to offer services to California and Washington residents via telehealth technology. I have worked with adults across the lifespan (18-100+) and believe I work best with someone who is looking for the best path and tools to use along the way of healing and growth. My ideal client is someone who is ready and willing to 1. implement my recommendations, 2. consider honestly the barriers to their change, and 3. give me feedback so I can adapt to better suit their needs.
