I am a clinical psychologist with over 26 years of experience providing therapy and specialize in treating trauma and PTSD from military combat, training and first responder incidents. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and have found this modality to be especially effective to reduce nightmares, intrusive thoughts, anger, anxiety and sensory triggers (reaction to sounds, smells, commotion, driving) that the sensory or fight-flight part of the brain has associated with one or more traumas. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma to shift negative beliefs.

I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with life changes and transitions. I like to show people different ways of thinking about their issues. I have a number of ways to help people to get in touch with their feelings and to change the way they respond to situations and handle conflict in relationships. I help them to find ways to compromise, use the energy that comes from strong feelings, and to slow down their reactivity before they do harm to others. I deal with grief, anger, pain, loss, depression, and anxiety. I provide a safe place for clients.

Individuals struggling with fear, anger, discouragement, anxiety, and trauma can find help, hope, and healing.
Many are called to the profession of counseling, but very few are chosen. I have been chosen to guide others in finding direction, insight, and purpose. I am confident, compassionate, and unwavering in my desire to help clients see the light in the face of darkness. While my general philosophy is that therapy should be interpersonal, client-centered, and support based, I also believe in asking tough questions that challenge my client's existing mental conceptions and problem solving methodologies. My personal motto is "Challenge the thinking; change the behavior." Your mind is the battlefield of your life. Let me help you win!

Let's be honest, there are times in life that can be difficult. During these times, it is normal to feel sad, anxious, frustrated, or confused. But it is important to know that you do not have to go through these times alone. I would like to offer a listening ear and be a support to process through these experiences. Mohandas Ghandi said, "strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide to not surrender that is strength." I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults in finding their purpose and strength. Let me help you through this progress.

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.
