Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. Many times it's a call for action to make things right. However, when it gets out of control it can lead to physical problems, issues at work, and in your personal relationships, Anger can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.

I'll be my pleasure to guide you through this process.

I work to teach my clients to both understand the underlying components of anger, and to provide them with strageties to stop it at the very first sign. Understanding what causes the anger is a key component to stopping it. I also look into situational factors such as relationships or work environments that may be contributing to the problem. Spouses, partners, friends, or family members are welcome to join in the process where appropriate, and only if you choose to do so. You will feel more in control, calmer and healthier and happier as a result, and your relationships will improve as well.

Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions that contribute to unhealthy expressions of anger. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.
