In my practice, I specialize in anger management, helping individuals understand the root causes of their anger and develop effective strategies to express it healthily and constructively. Anger, while a natural emotion, can often lead to stress, relationship problems, and other life challenges when not managed properly. My approach is centered on empowering you with the tools and insights needed to recognize triggers, control reactions, and communicate feelings in ways that foster positive outcomes. We'll work together to build a personalized plan that incorporates coping mechanisms, relaxation techniques, and communication skills, all aimed at transforming how you handle anger. Whether your goal is to improve personal relationships, enhance workplace dynamics, or simply find inner peace, my practice offers a supportive and understanding environment to guide you on this journey.
I take a cognitive/clinical approach to anger management, in which we will look at the triggers of anger, the cognitive processes behind the appraisal of anger, and the behavioral reaction of anger. Anger is a human emotion and deserves to be given the same care as all of our other emotions.
