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 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.

Do you feel angry all the time? Are your actions or behaviours impacting your personal or professional life? Are you finding it difficult to move past certain events or arguments? Therapy can help you understand your anger and what is behind it. CBT and DBT are often utilized when supporting clients with anger management. Learn how to regulate your emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Anger is a natural emotional response that occurs when something that we value gets squashed or stepped on by the world around us. You may be experiencing a great deal of anger without fully understanding the thing that you value that is being squashed. I will work with you to discover understanding of your anger and to uncover the ways in which anger has become problematic in your life. I will walk with you on the path to overcoming the destructive impact of anger, and to resolve the situations which lead to unhelpful anger.
