Anger can be such a frustrating emotion sometimes leaving us feeling shameful for even feeling that way. Men and women are often taught different messages about anger as they are growing up, impacting our experience and delivery of anger as an adult. Anger is a real and valid emotion, but how we express it can sometimes lead to problems. Let's figure this out together!

Anger may occur for a variety of reasons, resulting from challenging and stressful situations or even due to other emotions such as fear, rejection or frustration. Acting out of anger only serves to increase anger and alienate others. Therapy can help you learn to identify situations and emotions that typically result in anger and find new strategies for reducing their impact.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Perceptions of anger vary based on personal experiences; some of us have experienced it as a destructive force presented through aggression or violence. Whether anger is getting in the way of authentic connection, resolving differences with others, or impacting your overall mental health, understanding it can be a helpful first step in anger therapy, also known as anger management therapy.

Many people, especially men, struggle with expressing themselves during emotionally charged situations, conversations or confrontations. Anger is an emotion that many men feel but are challenged to express appropriately in an emotionally-charged situation. For example, expressing too much or not enough anger can create an unsafe situation for self and others. Many men carry long-held beliefs that do not serve them about anger and other difficult emotions. I help men understand their beliefs and associated emotional triggers. Together, we develop strategies that increase their emotional self-awareness and ability to share their emotions with caring, compassion and confidence.

My approach to anger management focuses on helping clients understand what’s beneath the anger—not just stopping the reaction. Using CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed strategies, I help clients identify triggers, interrupt automatic responses, and express emotions in healthier, more effective ways. Clients learn practical skills for self-control, communication, and emotional regulation. Over time, they gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to manage conflict without exploding, shutting down, or damaging relationships.

Anger can feel like an emotional experience that we have no control over. In therapy, you can explore the root causes of anger and how it impacts your life, your experiences, and your relationships. You can learn skills to effectively respond to anger, ground yourself when feeling angry, and de-escalate when anger is impacting your relationships. I work with individuals, couples and families.

Through mindful awareness and emotional regulation strategies, clients learn to pause, reflect, and respond with greater clarity rather than react impulsively. My aim is to help individuals transform anger into insight, strength, and more authentic communication in their relationships.

Together, we will gain insight into the root of your anger and the purpose that it serves in your life.
