Anger is not the problem! Anger is not bad or good, or negative or positive. Like love, sad or happy, anger, is only an emotion - a feeling. Nothing more, nothing less. The thing that gives anger it's bad reputation is what a person sometimes DOES when he/she gets angry. When a person makes poor choices of behavior when angry, they either break the law or destroy relationship - or BOTH. I'll be happy to teach you how you can make better choices of behavior when you feel angry. You may choose a package of eight Group Sessions or you may schedule as few or as many Individual Sessions as you need.

Through our work together, you'll begin to take an honest inventory of what you've been through. More often than not, anger comes from a deep place of pain and previous hurts. By learning the root issue, we can begin to identify more helpful ways for you to manage your words and your actions.

Anger is a secondary emotion, it never exists in a vacuum. This means that all anger has its source, whether it be unmet needs, frustration, guilt, shame etc. A large part of anger management counseling is uncovering the primary emotion, revealing the source and understanding where the anger is coming from. Often, this knowledge alone is more than half the battle. There are other techniques as well that can help you overcome your anger when you feel like you're going to "flip your lid."

No safer place. No better time. Life is too short to live like a volcano, not knowing when the next eruption will occur. Anger is the most destructive of all emotions, and the least productive. If you have lost jobs or relationships because of your anger, then I can help. While you may feel your anger is not an issue, or even a helpful tool to get what you want, it is costing you valuable life resources, and affecting your physical health. I can help you learn how to live life in control while still being able to express yourself emotionally. I can help you find joy in life, resulting in others enjoying you.

Anger can get triggered in situations where you feel disrespected, shamed, rejected, powerless, not heard, not valued, or not safe. My approach for helping clients reduce their anger is to identify past experiences that elicit anger, frustration, fear, shame or other upsetting emotions and negative thoughts now, and then to reprocess those memories with EMDR therapy. I have also helped clients understand why they feel they need to hold on to their anger and then work through the blocks to letting the anger go while still helping them find other ways to feel in control, heard, respected or safe. Note: I do not offer Anger Management classes to meet work or court ordered requirements.
