Anger Management and Counseling in Davie, FL.

I have worked with many clients that express intense anger and my experience has led me to conclude that anger is just the tip of a complicated iceberg that has a history and reason to exist. Anger typically pushes people away and protects the person who is feeling it or holding onto to it from getting hurt again. I encourage my clients to share their anger with me and take an inquisitive approach into understanding the history and complexity of this feeling. Once the feeling is understood it is more simple to tame, and control the emotion.

We live in a society in which it is far more acceptable to express anger than it is to express feelings of loneliness and self-doubt. I find that anger is usually a response to a deeper emotional experience that we do not fully understand. The goal of this type of work is help clients to identify primary emotions, understand their function and express them in a more healthy way. DBT is a great way to help clients understand how to regulate emotions and develop a more mindful relationship to them. Once we develop these skills, we begin to learn the early signs of an unmet emotional need and the ways to manage it effectively.

Men often express anger when they feel hurt or demeaned in some way. A man may misinterpret comments or remarks, however, and become upset as he is triggered by the meaning he assigns to them. We all get angry at times. Anger is like any other emotion, useful when expressed appropriately. Some of us, however, have an anger problem. I can help you learn how to control the anger you feel. I will teach you how to become aware of your automatic thoughts and how they have controlled you in the past. You will learn how to anticipate your "triggers" and control your responses to them.

Anger is one of the your emotions, and it is quite alright to feel angry. Different degrees of anger exist. When it comes with anger, it is how you express your anger that makes a difference. Is your anger bad for your relationship or destructive at work? Do you find that you express your anger in aggressive ways? Do you respond to others in passive-aggressive manner? Can you expressive yourself in a healthy, assertive manner? Come and let me help you manage anger in a more serene manner.

We help our clients to have greater understanding of themselves and their interactions with others to improve the quality of their relationships. We utilize mindfulness, self-exploration, and self-soothing techniques to help improve clients' emotional regulation skills. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR or ART, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Existential Therapy are especially helpful for healing trauma and improving interpersonal interactions with others.

My approach to anger management counseling is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and practical skill-building. I help clients understand the roots of their anger, often tied to unmet needs, past wounds, or systemic stressors while empowering them to express emotions in healthier, more constructive ways. Through a blend of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and family systems insight, clients learn to recognize triggers, regulate physiological responses, and develop new communication patterns. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients harness anger as a signal for growth, boundary-setting, and self-advocacy rather than destruction.

Anger is one of the emotions that is often so misunderstood and seen as scary. Sometimes it can lead to people who experience anger being afraid to let others know because they fear judgement or being misunderstood. Often is is just as treatable as anxiety or depression. Understanding our emotions and how to regulate them is key and when we can lean in without judgment to observe the emotions as a curious scientist than solutions become possible. At KML, we focus on DBT heavily when it comes to understanding anxiety and learning new ways to manage it. We also first always ensure yours and others safety and develop a plan if needed. We will not judge you and are here to help you change!

I don’t believe in Anger Management. Instead, I believe in getting rid of anger (Anger Resolution). Most of us learn how and when to be angry as children and continue to react the same way as adults. I work with you to eliminate anger by lowering reactivity and by helping you to explore new, more personally beneficial ways to respond to potentially rageful situations. No matter how angry you are, if you are coming to see me because you (or a loved one) feel that you need help with anger, I can help you. I am certified in Anger Resolution and I use many different techniques to lower your reactivity and help you eliminate rage--and not one of them includes counting to 10!

Clients will gain an understanding of the root cause of their anger and how it affects their lives and their relationships. The counseling process will pull on the clients' strengths to deal with their anger triggers and mechanisms. Counseling will help the clients to recognize their thinking patterns and behaviors linked to their anger, while empowering them to change them in order to be free from their anger.
