I have dedicated my career to working with individuals across a wide range of forensic and clinical settings, including private forensic agencies, adult and adolescent correctional facilities, and Community Service Boards. These experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of the challenges people face when navigating change and the resilience required to move forward.
What I value most about my work is partnering with individuals who have made the decision to pursue change. I believe that choosing growth is one of the bravest steps a person can take, and I view it as both a privilege and a responsibility to support that process.
My approach emphasizes helping individuals reframe how they view themselves. Many people initially see only limitations or negatives, but through our work together, they discover strengths and skills they didn’t realize they already had. Watching someone recognize their own ability—not just to face fears, but to overcome them—is one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice.
I believe we all share a responsibility to support others who are striving to make their lives better. My goal is to provide a structured, respectful, and supportive environment where individuals can learn, grow, and realize their full potential.
At Essential Principles of Anger Management in Atlanta, GA, I offer a carefully structured program designed to foster emotional growth through proven, evidence-based methods. Serving individuals across Fulton County, the program emphasizes active participation, personal reflection, and practical skill-building.
Each class includes guided instruction, homework assignments, and weekly journaling to help participants apply what they’ve learned. A key part of the process is developing a clear understanding of one’s personal Anger Cycle. By creating and presenting an Anger Cycle diagram—either in class or during an individual session—participants demonstrate valuable insight into their own triggers and responses.
To help participants strengthen their emotional intelligence, the program encourages open and honest discussions that challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, such as cognitive distortions. In this supportive, judgment-free environment, participants are invited to share insights, give and receive feedback, and develop empathy through constructive interaction with both peers and the instructor.
These experiences are designed to foster meaningful transformation in daily life. By recognizing patterns and shifting thought processes, participants gain a clearer understanding of their past anger responses and build the skills needed for healthier, more balanced interactions moving forward.
Through personalized guidance, I help adults identify emotional triggers and develop proactive coping strategies. This holistic approach provides essential skills for managing stress, improving relationships, and navigating daily challenges in healthier ways.
Together, we focus on building effective communication skills, strengthening emotional resilience, and setting boundaries that support lasting, positive change.
