Anger Management and Counselling in Sturgeon County, AB.

I have training and experience supporting children, teens, and adults in understanding and managing anger in healthy, constructive ways. I view anger not as a problem, but as a signal, often pointing to deeper emotions such as hurt, fear, or unmet needs. In therapy, I help clients recognize their triggers, develop emotional awareness, and learn practical tools for calming the body and expressing anger safely. Using a combination of somatic regulation, EMDR, mindfulness, narrative therapy, clients learn to respond rather than react, improving communication and relationships. My goal is to help individuals transform anger from something overwhelming into a source of strength.

Anger isn't just a feeling, but it involves the way we think and how our body responds.

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 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. Managing your anger involves understanding not only the situational events that triggers it but also the underlying emotions that end up being expressed as anger. 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.

My approach to anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that comes with it. We can work together to identify triggers, recognize your triggers, manage your emotions, and feel calmer by mindfully approaching your anger so that you not only regulate your emotions but also listen to your own intense emotions and then work on rewiring your brain to peace. I use Interpersonal Neurobiology to help you understand the way your brain works so that you can control your anger instead of your anger takes control of your life

Many of us have not been taught the tools and strategies that are needed to manage anger in a healthy and appropriate manner. While anger is a natural emotion, which can serve as a helpful signal that something is "just not right," it is often handled in a poor manner. I help people to see the maladaptive patterns and strategies they have been using to express their anger, and then replace these with healthier ones. We also work to unload built up frustration, resentment, and hurt, which often reaches a "breaking point" and needs to be resolved so that it does not come out as uncontrolled anger. By doing this, clients can reach a more peaceful place, and will come to see anger in a new way.
