Anger is a common stage of grief/loss and often occurs together. My approach to helping clients work through these emotions is by combining grief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relaxation strategies.

: We all have a right to feel and express our anger and yet sometimes anger can alienate us from the things we care about most, such as friends and family. We can also often feel judged because of the way we express our anger and this can make it harder to manage. In my work with individuals who experience anger, I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to begin to understand anger and learn new ways of expressing it.
