Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are your life and relationships unfulfilling? Can't let go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Nothing gets better no matter what you try? Maybe it's time for a change!
Anger is a normal human emotion and at times can be a very appropriate response. Feeling anger in itself is not the problem. It is how we express it that can become problematic. and destructive. Anger management can assist the individual to identify their pattern of expression, identify their triggers, learn ways to appropriately respond and not react and look for strategies to resolve the situation without harm (emotional or physical) to themselves or others..
Through individualized therapy, I work with you to recognize patterns of anger, explore underlying emotions, and practice effective communication techniques. My goal is to empower you with the tools and skills needed to manage your anger in a way that promotes positive interactions and emotional balance. Whether you’re struggling with frequent outbursts, long-term resentment, or difficulty controlling your temper, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change.
I believe individuals have within themselves the strengths and resources necessary to overcome their obstacles and grow into maturity. It is my commitment to provide excellence in care to help individuals and families access their strengths and move forward in their individual journeys.
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.
I am an eclectic therapist who utilizes multiple modes of therapy including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing approaches in order to create a personalized, client centered experience.
I work on emotional management in general and anger management in particular. Managing anger is challenging in part because anger has a lot of energy in it. It takes skill and practice to direct that energy in a way that is productive rather than destructive.
