A final suggestion:  remove and hide the butcher block and other immediately available objects/weapons that she can seize while in a blind rage.  A teen difficult child in a full rage, especially when being thwarted after they've come to expect to have their way, is capable of unthinkable things.  It's best to remove anything that she can seize in a moment of rage and use to do something that can literally ruin or even end lives.  When I did my "bouncer" gig at my sister's house, we did this and it paid off:  I was attacked with various objects--whatever came to hand for the difficult child while enraged--but never with a knife or anything that could really hurt me--because we had removed them all.  An ounce of prevention can be immeasurably valuable in this circumstance.
