LCSW, 20 years of experience
I enjoy working with adults who struggle with anger management. It's important to identify and understand the root cause of anger . Often, clients discover that hurt, shame, fear, embarrassment or loss are the triggers to unresolved anger. The good news is this can be solved, allowing clients to live more healthy, nurturing and fulfilled lives. I use a strength based, skill driven, cognitive approach that is backed by research. Focus is given on identifying and eliminating thinking patterns that lead to unwanted aggressive behavior, homework assignments are provided to track daily thoughts and emotions and communication skills are taught to help you say what you mean - in a meaningful way.
During the initial session, I will conduct a bio/psycho/social assessment, listen to the presenting challenges and co-author a treatment plan that will hopefully offer you some hope that life will get better.
My strengths are that I'm a reliable therapist. I will be on time and ready to go when our session starts. I'm a good listener, direct with feedback and willing to provide you with suggestions and/or homework to get you where you want to go.
I enjoy working with people who are direct and willing to challenge the status quo. My dream client is hard working, honest about themselves and is motivated to get better.
I have used Cognitive Behavioral therapy to successfully treat a number of mental health conditions. I find this CBT (and various spin offs of CBT) to be reliable, effective, and helpful to a wide range of clients
