Anger Management therapy is a powerful tool for people wanting to understand, explore, and control their anger through channeling healthier alternatives. Much like other emotions, we learn expression of these feelings through what we grew up seeing around us. Anger is particularly challenging because it is viewed as one of the more "acceptable" emotions to feel, however it can also become destructive to us both personally and in our most valued relationships. We will delve into any past experiences that may continue to fuel your anger and work towards self reflection, mindfulness, and awareness of personal triggers to find constructive ways to assertively express difficult emotions.

My approach revolves around helping clients gain a deep understanding of the root causes and triggers of their anger. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors associated with anger. Through evidence-based techniques and strategies, clients will benefit by learning healthier ways to express and manage their anger, enhancing their communication skills, and ultimately regaining control over their reactions.

I offer strategies to those struggling with managing their anger. I help you identify triggers and possible warning signs so you can learn how to manage the strong feelings and regain some control.

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.

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.
