Anger is a natural emotion, but when it feels overwhelming or out of control, it can be distressing and harmful. If you find yourself struggling to cope with your anger, know that you are not alone and that there is hope. Managing anger is not about suppressing your feelings, but about learning healthier ways to express and cope with them. Seeking help is brave and a step towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life. You deserve to feel in control and at peace.
If you are struggling to understand what contributes to the anger you experience, if you would like to develop different methods of communicating your thoughts and needs, or if you would like to develop emotional insight and emotional regulations skills, I may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out for a free consult.
I use a combination of Narrative, Solutions Focused, and Emotion Focused therapy to help clients address the underlying pain informing feelings of anger. Clients can experience anger getting the way of important relationships or preferred outcomes. Sometimes anger has been an adaptive and helpful response for clients in the past, and one that they want to choose to live with and respond to a little differently now. I aim to help you understand the causes and subsequent triggers in order to better respond when these feelings arise. Book a consult to see if we would be the right fit.

I have worked with clients who struggle with anger and understand how potentially destructive anger can be to relationships and self-esteem. I offer clients productive and effective tools to deal with their anger.
At one time or another most people have become angry. Though considered negative by many, constructive anger can be a source of motivation and cause for positive personal and lifestyle changes.
Managing one’s anger involves learning strategies that will help you recognize, manage, and communicate your anger in a productive and healthy way.
Some healthier anger management strategies we will look at include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). We will also identify triggers and warning signs, recognize the importance of stepping away from situation, managing thoughts and thought patterns, relaxation techniques among other strategies.
Anger is an important evolutionary adaptation that has helped us to survive in the face of threats to life. However, it may have a slightly different place in modern society. Many of us don't learn how to set boundaries confidently and assertively and there is often a lot of stigma and judgement that comes with anger. System oppression within capitalism can also be at the heart of anger. I am here to support you in uncovering what is at the root of your anger and providing new ways to express yourself so you can be heard and received.
