My approach to anger management is to help the person decrease their hightened emotional and psychological arousal in order to deal with the anger. Together, we find the root of the anger, set distinct guidelines in dealing with the anger and develop a solid plan to effectively manage the anger. In each step of managing the anger there are key elements to educate the person and find a solution. Everyone gets angry but it is how we deal with this natural emotion.

Oftentimes my clients come in feeling like they struggle with anger management. They lose patience, snap at their partner or children, and feel generally irritable and on-edge. Sometimes they don't even know what they're angry about! I work with my clients to help them figure out what is underneath all that anger. Often anger is a response to traumas that haven't yet been resolved, so our work will center on addressing those traumas. For my ADHD and autistic clients, anger can be a sign of overstimulation. In those cases, we work on finding ways to make your environment work for you and your sensory needs. Anger can also be a sign of anxiety, which we can use relaxation skills to help.
