Are you struggling to manage your anger? Do you find yourself lashing out at loved ones? Would you like to catch yourself before you react so you can choose how to respond?

You can have better relationships with your partner, kids, and yourself.

Anger is a normal feeling that all people experience. The trouble is often when anger leads to aggression or destructive BEHAVIOR. Often anger issues have dramatic costs including in relationships, at work/school, legal issues, and others. Often anger covers underlying emotions that drive anger including sadness, frustration, feeling disrespected, and shame/guilt to name a few. I help my clients understand their anger issues and learn new adaptive ways to cope with this emotion.

Anger can be toxic - to jobs, relationships, and especially to yourself. Usually beneath the anger are underlying issues of fear, anxiety, hurt, and/or depression. I'll help you identify what the anger is really about, and we'll look at ways to address the underlying issues and teach you how to manage and even eliminate your angry outbursts, by replacing them with more appropriate responses.

Our anger management approach goes beyond identifying triggers and offering alternative ways to vent. While these are important, we delve deeper into the root causes of your intense emotions. Anchored in a psychodynamic therapy model, we guide you through self-exploration to understand why anger exists in the first place. This deeper understanding aims to reduce the anger's intensity, giving you greater control over your emotional life. By doing so, we help you navigate momentary flare-ups and contribute to long-term emotional stability and improved relationships. Our holistic approach gives you the skills to move through life less reactive and more at peace.

This is an area that is vital to understand and know how to manage in order to have a healthy, compatible relationship. Not knowing how to reduce anger and handle it can sabotage a couple’s ability to communicate and get along on many levels. Anger unchecked, can destroy relationships and sometimes lead to violence. Over the years I have developed many techniques to help people reduce their anger, and have taught them how to communicate with their partner effectively.

As a group therapist, helping people address their anger in healthier ways is something we work on regularly and successfully. In the context of the group / team work, clients are encouraged to express their frustrations and irritations in new ways, so that the old 'stuffing feelings until you blow up' is no longer the first coping tool used.

Anger management is often worked through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients increase awareness of their thoughts to help control their reactionary behavior. It can also be approached by looking at family and societal messages that support violent ways of expressing anger. Societal messages directed at men in particular, often support anger as an emotion men should focus on. This often masks other emotions, such as sadness or fear. Social Psychology paired with Emotion Focused Therapy can often help break down such negative messaging as well as increase healthy emotional awareness and expression.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.
