Anger and violence are wildly misunderstood issues. I believe that it is important to explore the context in which the anger or violence occurs. For example, does it happen at home, or at work, or in public? Who is impacted by the anger or violence? How do the individuals who are impacted resist and respond to the anger/violence? Through counselling we will explore the context of the interactions. Once we understand the context (who is doing what to who?) I will respectfully invite responsibility taking and strategies for more helpful communication and responses.

Anger is an emotion that can dominate how we automatically react to situations and frustrations when it feels we are not in control. Sometimes anger is overwhelming for the person feeling the anger and for the others around them and can negatively impact relationships and life goals. I explore with clients the root of the anger and then collaboratively develop strategies and alternative intentional approaches to improve effective emotional processing.

The cost of Anger is enormous! It affects not only everyone around you, but also affects your own health. If you are looking for a counsellor to help you with anger management, you probably already know this.

I can help you learn the skills that you need to understand your anger and to regulate it so that you can meet your needs more effectively. You will also learn what it takes to protect and rebuild relationships that have been damaged through venting your anger. If you are ready to take responsibility for making changes for the better in your life, contact me.

It sucks to be angry and loose control of our emotions. Anger can have a devastating impact on the people we love the most. I will support you in addressing the emotions, trauma and pain underneath anger and learn to identify your triggers and patterns. I will teach you tools to address your stress and help you learn to better deal with your emotions. Learning to communicate our needs in a way that will be received is also a part of how I address anger issues.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion that needs to occur in a controlled manner. Yes, we all get mad but it is the action and words that need special attention. When it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems. These problems occur at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. I will help you create strategies and goals to mange your anger.

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.

When anger gets the best of us, we can say and/or do things that we later wish we could change or take back. Anger is an instinctive universal emotion, one in which we all have, but not all expressions of anger have to be hurt. In fact, anger works as a great informant and can motivate us to take action to improve our own lives and the lives of people that we care about.

My approach to Anger Management Counseling focuses on helping clients understand the roots of their anger, identify personal triggers, and develop healthier ways to express and manage intense emotions. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients can explore the underlying feelings—such as hurt, fear, or frustration—that often fuel anger. Through techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and communication skill-building, clients learn to respond rather than react. Over time, they gain greater self-awareness, emotional control, and the ability to handle conflict more constructively in their personal and professional lives.

Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to understand and manage anger. We'll explore your triggers, build healthy coping tools, and uncover what's beneath the surface. You'll learn to express yourself clearly without losing control, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and in control of your emotions.

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.

I use solution focused techniques to help with the process of managing anger. I have tangible excercises that allow for self refection regarding the impact of anger in ones life and the impact anger can have in relation to others. I use reality based situations (including both work and home life) to work through realistic situations, which helps to promote the use of learned techniques in accurate situations. I have worked with all different populations in regards to managing anger and can be flexible in terms of adjusting to individual goals and desired outcomes.

My approach to anger management focuses on understanding anger as a messenger rather than an enemy to be controlled. I'll help you identify the underlying needs, boundaries, or wounds that your anger may be trying to protect, while developing nervous system regulation skills for de-escalation in triggering moments. Using somatic awareness and parts work, you'll learn to recognize anger's early physical signal and respond with choice rather than reactivity.
