It sucks to be angry and loose control of our emotions. Anger can have a devastating impact on the people we love the most. I will support you in addressing the emotions, trauma and pain underneath anger and learn to identify your triggers and patterns. I will teach you tools to address your stress and help you learn to better deal with your emotions. Learning to communicate our needs in a way that will be received is also a part of how I address anger issues.

Anger and violence are wildly misunderstood issues. I believe that it is important to explore the context in which the anger or violence occurs. For example, does it happen at home, or at work, or in public? Who is impacted by the anger or violence? How do the individuals who are impacted resist and respond to the anger/violence? Through counselling we will explore the context of the interactions. Once we understand the context (who is doing what to who?) I will respectfully invite responsibility taking and strategies for more helpful communication and responses.

Anger from time to time is a normal healthy emotion. When that anger turns into rage or verbal/physical aggression, besides being unhealthy, is a signal of a problem requiring help. Unhealthy anger expression can lead to disease development like heart disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure etc. This anger/rage is abusive to yourself and others and can separate you from family, friends, fellow workers. For those wtih generalized anger, and who want to change. we offer specific clinical approaches such as talk therapy and EFT coupled with education and monitoring of progress to meet your goals.

A response to life's events falls upon a continuum from neutral to highly-reactive. At times anger, Gandhi called it "Righteous Indignation," is necessary to respond to injustices or inappropriate behaviours. However, uncontrolled, inappropriate anger is destructive to one's self and others. Mindfulness and Metta (Loving Kindness) meditations are excellent tools to deal with anger. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also called Tapping, along with skillful use of affirmations can help to cool the fires of anger. The benefits of anger management lead to a regulating of emotions and thus a gaining of peace of mind, positive relationships, career and family security.

In my anger management therapy, I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care to help individuals understand, control, and transform their anger. Through IFS, we explore the internal emotional landscape, recognizing various 'parts' that contribute to anger, while EMDR helps in processing and reducing the impact of past traumas. Mindfulness techniques develop self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also focus on identifying triggers and underlying emotions, teaching skills like relaxation methods, effective communication, and problem-solving. This comprehensive approach fosters emotional regulation, impro

Anger is an emotion that can dominate how we automatically react to situations and frustrations when it feels we are not in control. Sometimes anger is overwhelming for the person feeling the anger and for the others around them and can negatively impact relationships and life goals. I explore with clients the root of the anger and then collaboratively develop strategies and alternative intentional approaches to improve effective emotional processing.

Have you found that anger has started to ruin relationships, interfere with your job, and negatively impact your life? Anger has a way of spreading and infecting day-to-day interactions. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. I work with many people who are controlled by their anger. Typically, anger is influenced by other underlying causes. In counselling, we will work together to learn new coping mechanisms to limit anger while also looking at what is causing anger. If you want to take the next step, reach out to me, and we can begin to change how you react to anger.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion that needs to occur in a controlled manner. Yes, we all get mad but it is the action and words that need special attention. When it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems. These problems occur at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. I will help you create strategies and goals to mange your anger.

The cost of Anger is enormous! It affects not only everyone around you, but also affects your own health.

I can help you learn the skills that you need to understand your anger and to regulate it so that you can meet your needs more effectively. You will also learn what it takes to protect and rebuild relationships that have been damaged through venting your anger. If you are ready to take responsibility for making changes for the better in your life, contact me.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

My approach is to use a step-by-step process that follows an evidence based approach: goal setting; self awareness; cognitive reframing; behavioural modification; review of progress. Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen.

All of us have been angry at times, and know that this doesn't feel very good. Using an approach of CBT/DBT/mindfulness combination, I help you to explore the driving forces behind what's getting you angry and keeping you angry. Exploring how this is impacting interpersonal relationships and how to enhance communication and set boundaries can be a start to regaining some control over your anger.
