Anger can be a way to impose ones will. Sometimes people learn that this works in the short term but in the long term it never really does.

Anger management problems emerge from a social system where both genders are taught that expression of anger is inappropriate. Anger is one of seven basic human emotions and is in no way dangerous, unfeminine, or taboo. Explosive anger typically emerges when people attempt to keep their anger from others, holding it inside until they can no longer contain it. My approach is to model and practice graded expression of anger, and to help people modify the point(s) of view from which anger is seen to emerge.

Anger is often a signal—not just a reaction. I help clients understand what’s happening underneath their anger, whether it stems from overwhelm, unmet needs, frustration, or long-standing relational dynamics. My approach focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and pattern recognition, so that anger doesn’t sabotage connection or lead to guilt. You won’t be told to “calm down”—you’ll learn how to respond differently, with clarity and self-respect. Therapy is a place to shift from reaction to choice, and from tension to direction.

Anger is a complex emotion because it can occur for a variety of reasons and sometimes it's tough to tell why you feel angry in a given moment.

This involves taking a closer look at other feelings (primary emotions) and learning how to cope with them so that they don't present as anger, which is a secondary emotion.
