Years of experience in anger management

The 1 emotion we’ve all experienced is “Anger”. Anger is a secondary emotion that is usually triggered by feelings of fear and anxiety. I can help you learn how to change your maladaptive thoughts, unpleasant emotions & unwanted behaviors that are linked to problems in life causing you distress and misery. Remember-Anger is only 1 letter away from Danger!

Anger is a normal human emotion that warns us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or gets in the way of getting our needs met. Of course, we can become angry at ourselves for a variety of reasons. Anger by nature is not a “problem” nor does it always require “anger management.” Unfortunately, for many people, anger can become a problem that affects our mental and physical health, strains or damages relationships, hurts our ability to perform, and diminishes the way we see ourselves. I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes (including historical trauma), and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.

Being able to work through anger with clients requires an understanding of trauma. I find that anger is usually just the "tip of the iceberg." There is usually a lot of other pain (sadness, fear, rejection, not having had one's needs met) underneath the anger outbursts/anger turned inside in the form of depression. I am willing to listen & to offer compassion. I'm also willing to help clients learn how to do the body work- Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Grounding, Deep Breath Work...

Many men feel more permission to express anger than any other emotion. However, underneath the anger is almost always a feeling of hurt, resentment, or disappointment. In our work together we will explore the triggers of your anger, as well as more healthy and constructive ways to manage it.

My work with anger management began at Womack Medical Center in their Family Advocacy Program where I taught weekly, anger management groups for Soldiers of mixed nationalities and gender. The 6 week course addressed issues such as identifying your body cues, childhood experiences shaping our anger styles, and the skills/techniques for changing your psychological/physiological response to external and internal stimuli. I have since gone on to apply these methods in my private practice.

There are a variety of reasons we may struggle with anger including past or present trauma, depression, grief, past or present hurt in relationship, low self-esteem, etc. This can be an uncomfortable feeling which often stems from other emotions such as hurt and sadness. Talk therapy can help to identify where the anger stems from as well as identify coping strategies to deal with and ultimately decrease our levels of anger.

Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important. Anger Management Therapy focuses on preventing and controlling anger in every aspect of life.
