There are 3 phases in working with Anger 1.Prevention- Attempts to forestall the very onset of anger. 2. Intervention- Aims to reduce the intensity or the duration of anger that has already ignited. 3. Postvention- Aims to discharge any residual anger. Emotions are regulated by re-experiencing, releasing, or converting them into a safe form. We will not only focus on your cognitions and behaviors as entry points but also focus on the modification of affect (your emotions). Anger is an emotion. To have no room in therapy for the feeling component of this emotion is to deny its very essence, your existence. Gestalt perspective- Expression of anger can be very productive. Let out!

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. By recognizing how anger can mask deeper felt emotions such as helplessness and or sadness; we can begin to understand & process your loss, find meaning, and develop self care as well as coping skills.

Many of us grew up in families where we were told to rate our emotions as positive or negative. Positive emotions were love, joy, and compassion. Negative emotions were sadness, fear, anger, and rage. Unfortunately, anger got placed in the harmful emotion category for many of us, which is not where it belongs. Anger is a helpful emotion that strengthens our resolve to set healthy limits in our relationships. Anger helps us communicate what we need from others. Psychotherapy is a space where you can learn the positive attributes of anger and how to express it positively and safely. Let's get together and explore some of these healthier options for this vital emotion!

Anger is often connected to stress, hurt, overwhelm, or emotions that feel difficult to express in other ways. You may notice yourself reacting quickly, shutting down, or struggling with conflict in relationships. Therapy can help you better understand what is happening beneath the surface while building healthier ways to communicate, regulate emotions, and respond in difficult moments. My approach is supportive and focused on understanding, not judgment.

Anger is a widely misunderstood emotion and that allows it to play a dominating role in many lives. When we understand our anger, we begin breaking the spell it has over our lives. I've seen many people overcome their explosive anger in therapy by developing an ability to remain calm when stressed and learn to communicate more effectively in distressing situations. I also offer an Anger Management Certificate to those who complete a 6-session course on anger management skills.
