Anger Issues

I can help by providing you with the specific tools needed to overcome your pain. Asking for help can be hard, and at the same time it is the first step toward regaining control of your life.

Anger is a powerful, often maligned phenomenon. It is a natural response to perceived or real threat that helps us get distance or control over it. Always meaningful, taboo for many, and sometimes destructive, understanding anger, where it comes from, what it is for is a focus of my practice, as is helping clients learn effective tools for navigating anger, even allowing it to be a useful guide.

I will work with you to understand the origins of your anger and understand the part of you that feels these intense feelings. I will offer a place to be heard. We will work together to recognize how to better cope with big feelings when they happen in the moment and heal the part that gets you there.

Anger outbursts, reactivity and impulsivity

Anger is an emotion that we all experience but for some it can turn into destructive actions. I specialize in using mindfulness-based techniques to help my clients shift from destructive patterns to effective actions and connection with those who are important. I have facilitated Anger Management groups in jails and health care centers, in addition to working with countless individuals to make meaningful change in reducing problematic anger.

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion, neither good nor bad. Like any emotion, it conveys a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, unjust, or threatening. If your reaction to anger is to explode, however, that message never has a chance to be conveyed. So, while it’s perfectly normal to become upset how we deal with that anger really decides the outcome. I am adept at helping others manage this in a new way.

Anger is a secondary emotion. This means that there are usually some other underlying feelings that are pushing it to the surface. This can be fear, sadness or humiliation.
