Would you believe that there is indeed justified anger? However, there are healthy ways to express your anger. Anger is an outward expression of what is hidden beneath the surface. For some, this outward expression could jeopardize your life, relationships, employment, etc. My role as your counselor is to help you explore what is driving your anger. Next, we will discuss your conflict resolution style and your go-to form of anger. Finally, I will provide techniques to help you diffuse your anger prevent violent outbursts and physical demonstrations of anger.

Some times our emotions get the best of us, however every argument is a golden opportunity in our relationship to learn and possibly create an intimate connection, it is all up to how we respond. I help individuals and couples learn how to monitor and control their anger, allowing them to take full advantage of these opportunities. It is not how many fights or arguments that we have, but how we resolve and work through these difficult times that is the most important.

The source of anger can be challenging to pinpoint. I assist clients in identifying themes and events that lead to anger, then work with clients to build toolkits that assist with redirection and improved communication, lessening the symptoms of anger. Common approaches use DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), mindfulness techniques, and non-violent communication.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger.

Anger is a necessary and commonly experienced emotion that assists and motivates us to take action. However, anger can also be very damaging in relationships when the anger is driving choices and behaviors which are not focused and appropriate to the cause of the anger. Anger also seems to work best when it is just a part of a full spectrum of experienced emotions. I help people both recognize, manage and understand their anger, and then work together to identify the sources of anger, and address those sources so that the anger is no longer needed.

Anger Management counseling is a specialty service in this practice. It is an area where I have had ample experience working with clients. The process typically involves examining the issues surrounding your aggressive behaviors, and previous criminal cases that stemmed from uncontrolled behavior, and then learning how to reframe the events around you that cause you to be angry. Emotional control strategies are taught, as well as the providing or resources to support your counseling work.

We feel anger because we feel that something is not fair, something is not working out the way we thought it should, our boundaries have been crossed, or we feel we have been treated badly, or missed out. Anger can be frustrating if you don't know how to address the underlying issue. I specialize in helping those whose anger is related to social anxiety, isolation, bullying, harassment or lack of important social skills.

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.
