Anger Management and Counselling in Okotoks, AB.

Anger can be a powerful and often misunderstood emotion, and learning to navigate it safely can improve relationships, communication, and overall well-being. In my trauma-informed approach to anger management, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the underlying causes of your anger, including past experiences or unresolved trauma. Using person-centered, somatic, and evidence-based techniques, we work together to recognize triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and express emotions constructively. Clients leave feeling more in control, self-aware, and empowered to respond to life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and resilience.

With extensive experience in anger management, I provide evidence-based therapy exclusively via secure online sessions. Together, we explore triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways to respond to challenging situations. By applying EMDR, DBT, and emotion-centered strategies, I help you create tools that decrease impulsive reactions and support stronger, more connected relationships—all through a virtual platform that mirrors the benefits of face-to-face therapy.

Anger isn't just a feeling, but it involves the way we think and how our body responds. You will learn more about what situations and thoughts activate anger, what other emotions may be involved when you feel angry, and working with calming your body when anger is activated. You can expect to feel more aware of and in control of your anger even after a few sessions together. Going even deeper, we can explore more about the key experiences that activate your anger and learn to heal from old hurt that continues flaring up as anger in the here and now.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

My approach to anger management focuses on understanding the deeper emotions and unmet needs behind anger, while teaching healthy coping strategies. I help clients recognize triggers, process underlying pain (often tied to trauma or invalidation), and develop skills for emotional regulation—drawing from DBT, CBT, and somatic techniques. Together, we’ll practice communication tools, boundary-setting, and nervous system regulation to transform anger into constructive action. The goal isn’t to suppress emotions, but to cultivate self-awareness, assertive expression, and relational healing.
