Anger management is more like, managing our feelings and thoughts productively in order to make effective behavioral choices. In therapy, I help people recognize a pattern of behaviors, like getting stuck on a rail road track. Once on it, they can't get off until they have exploded in some since of the word. My therapy provides steps to take where each person has available choices and responsibility for those choices once taken. I provide encouragement and support, the individual provides their strengths. Initially, working together, managing feelings and thoughts, then making effective choices becomes easier until I am no longer part of the process, and the person is no longer stuck.

I do not believe in "anger management". Instead, I believe in being in control of your emotions - including anger. My clients discover how to be in control of their feelings of anger or rage - instead of the anger or rage controlling them. My clients discover how they can feel anger, but then choose more effective and productive ways of expressing themselves - in ways that no longer lead to regret or hurt - but rather in ways they feel proud and good about.

I help people struggling with anger management by working with them to develop awareness of their anger experience in their body and mind and how it is impacting their body. I help you learn and practice strategies for regulating your body and mind so you do not lose control of the anger. I help you to learn healthy communication of anger, and the development of conflict resolution skills. I support you in exploring issues of transference from past relationships and experiences that may be contributing to your strong feelings of anger in present circumstances and relationships. We create safety, increase positive expression of anger, and reduce or eliminate sources of anger when possible!
