“What we call human nature in actuality is human habit.” —Jewel. Our lives are a summation of moment to moment decisions. As such, they can become slightly to severely complicated. I specialize in EMDR work but take a holistic approach to ensure my clients are “living their best life” by making great choices to thrive and become autonomous in their own lives. Sometimes mental health problems are merely just bad choices problems. I strive to help clients "get out of their own way" and make choices most conducive to allowing the human experience heal and progress, by re-aligning with nature via lifestyle choices!

Some reasons to consider psychotherapy for your child or family member include: sudden changes in behavior, increased moodiness, an increase in temper tantrums, difficulty getting along with friends, physical or sexual abuse, loss of a loved one, divorce, excessive crying or sadness, increased worrying, aggression, questions about sexuality, self-injurious behavior or thoughts of suicide, trauma, illness, and anger. Parents and caregivers know their child best. If you think something is off, then seek a consultation. I will listen intently and conduct a detailed interview to determine if services are appropriate. If they are, then together we will set goals and develop a treatment plan.

Are feelings of self-doubt preventing you from living the life you desire? You want to find more connection, purpose, and belonging in your life, but deep down you wonder if these will always be out of reach. Maybe you’re aware of a heavy sadness in your chest and find yourself wondering if this is all there is for you. You might believe that you are flawed or broken, and need to hide something about who you really are from others, or that the only safe place for your feelings is bottled up inside. Painful experiences from your past may have taught you you’ll never be enough.

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.
