And if your relationships feel like walking on eggshells, I guide you toward deeper trust, safer communication, and genuine connection. Real change begins here.

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion we feel when something unfair or unjust has occurred. Anger can also distract from deeper, more painful emotions like sadness, guilt or abandonment. Anger can also hurt others when it becomes out of control and is followed by feelings of guilt or shame. You may not believe you have the right to be angry so looking for root causes of the anger is key. Learn to communicate more effectively with others to avoid the buildup of frustrations or resentments which result in angry outbursts. Learn warning signals and practical skills to regulate emotions and respond more skillfully, rather than be reactive. Change is possible. Talking helps.

In anger management, we start with your story: understanding your concerns, what triggers your anger, and how it's impacting you and your loved ones. Often anger affects relationships, work, or your wellbeing in ways that feel out of control. Together we'll build awareness about the patterns and underlying emotions driving your anger. Sometimes it masks hurt, frustration, or feeling unheard. Then we work on practical strategies: recognizing early warning signs, reframing triggering situations, and developing healthier ways to express feelings. Our therapeutic relationship provides the foundation where you bring knowledge of yourself and I bring clinical perspective. You'll learn to respond rather than react, communicate more effectively, and regain control of your emotions.
