Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Does your partner say you overreact? Maybe you feel like you're stressed all the time and when one thing is resolved another always seems to take its place? Maybe you feel you get to a breaking point and after that, it's hard to control what happens next? Together, not only will we manage how your anger expresses itself outwardly, but we will also work to address the roots of your anger so you can experience healing from the inside out.
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions. Anger is not evil. It is a natural and understandable reaction to an injustice or boundary violation. Ongoing anger problems in adulthood are often reflective of unresolved emotional wounds, usually around neglect, enmeshment, or mistreatment of some kind.

Need help with anger management? I help you gain insight into what triggers your emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and find positive ways to express yourself. Let’s work together to help you manage your anger effectively.
Develop our anger management skills. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is a highly effective anger management therapy. It works by empowering people to see how their thinking processes and beliefs can be a catalyst for anger and aggressive behaviors, and encourages them to learn alternative and more helpful thinking strategies and coping mechanisms to deal with anger when it does arise.
Learning to deal with our anger in a healthy way is vital for our well being. Anger turned inward becomes depression and I have experience helping people find healthy ways of expressing their anger and emotional regulation.
Anger can cause you, and those you are close with high levels of stress and anxiety. Anger is often masking deeper feelings we are grappling with like sadness, unworthiness, feeling disregarded etc. There is a valid reason for your anger— together we will work to understand the root of where your anger comes from and how it developed. From there we can begin implementing tools to help you regulate your anger so that you can be a more centered version of yourself.
