Anger Management Therapy

Anger is a normal human emotion that warns us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or gets in the way of getting our needs met. Of course, we can become angry at ourselves for a variety of reasons. Anger by nature is not a “problem” nor does it always require “anger management.” Unfortunately, for many people, anger can become a problem that affects our mental and physical health, strains or damages relationships, hurts our ability to perform, and diminishes the way we see ourselves. I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes (including historical trauma), and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.

I have spent years working with clients of ages on anger management to help them improve their functioning, relationships and wellbeing

My goal in treating anger is to identify the root cause of the anger. So many people get lost in their anger that they can overlook the source of that anger. I want to help you identify the source of that anger. Once we identify the source behind your anger we can learn how to manage the anger and learn a new way of handling these emotions.

This approach uses insight and skills to address anger issues.

We will look at triggers and cues in order to gain more awareness of situations that lead to angry reactions. Various strategies to help counter the urge to act out will be utilize.

Anger is such an important and understandable emotion. It is NOT your fault. Anger comes when we are upset by someone else'd actions/behaviors. Let's work together to understand why it is coming up for you and why we might need to learn more about the underpinnings so that it is not a barrier to your goals.

During my time working in corrections, I provided voluntary and court-ordered group anger management therapy. I aided clients in understanding that anger is not the issue, anger can be productive when utilized properly, however the issue tends to be what we do with that anger.
