Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is a mask we wear to conceal pain. I work to help folks remove that mask, identify the pain within, and learn what it needs to be healed. We also explore our relationship with anger, what role is it playing in our life? Anger is such an effective tool in creating distance from people! In getting our needs met! And yet, what wreckage it leaves behind, and what a short shelf life it has, quickly burning bridges and our own hearts until all around is charred ash. Anger CAN be managed.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Anger can be so tricky to deal with. Society conditions us to fear and judge anger in ourselves and each other, but the truth is; Anger is a fundamentally human, primal, physiologic response to experiences that threaten our emotional and physical safety. Anger is hurt's bodyguard. It's there to protect us and it is worthy of compassion, honor and validation. I work with clients to help them understand their anger more astutely, release shame around it, learn about it's connection to the autonomic nervous system, express or channel it into safe and healthy outlets, and earn skills to effectively manage it in everyday life.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My approach to working with anger considers the emotions that are underneath, driving the anger out. I like to hear stories of how you were shown to work through difficulties, what emotions you were taught we acceptable, and when you learned that fight energy was the surest way to stay safe in a scary world. We'll practice different grounding skills and have opportunities for nurturing the Parts inside of you that are hiding, wounded, and reactive.
