Anger is normal and tells you something is wrong in your life. However, some of us need to learn to express our anger differently. Counselling involves learning to identify your unique triggers, and exploring new responses that are healthy to you and those in your life. It is most effective in managing your anger if you can identify causes of your anger so we will look at family history of anger and life experiences. Learning communication skills and healthy boundaries may help you reduce your angry responses and be more relaxed in your life and relationships.

Whether you struggle with explosive anger, passive-aggressive behavior, or find it challenging to communicate effectively during moments of frustration, our therapists are here to guide you towards greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. We emphasize building healthy coping mechanisms, improving communication skills (including how to set and maintain boundaries assertively, without aggression) and fostering a deeper understanding of triggers and stressors.

Anger is a powerful emotion that, when not controlled or understood, can get in the way of maintaining and building the relationships that are important to us in our lives. So often under those all-encompassing feelings of anger are other feelings that have been buried - perhaps deeper feelings of sadness. Working on issues of anger in therapy is about building an understanding of what our deeper issues are and of working toward coping with our feelings, resolving our issues, and finding more healthy ways to express ourselves in the world.

DBT can be a game changer for clients wanting to regulate difficult emotions. A comprehensive and integrated model that uses skills training techniques to support individuals in achieving emotion regulation, stress tolerance, achieving mindful practices and improving interpersonal relationships.

However, this treatment can also help clients with anxiety, depression, and other presentations that formed roots from invalidating environments.

Anger is like many emotions we experience - it can get too hot to handle and when it is not dealt with it causes problems for ourselves and others.

Instead of anger calling the shots, we will learn to get in control of anger and become empowered enough to choose how we express it.

Anger is something that gets the best of all of us at one point or another. And sometimes it feels so heavy that we learn to react on it instantaneously, which may hurt ourselves or others around us. My goals are to help you to manage your anger reaction by learning how to channel it through positive and productive endeavors, as well as to explore the history of your feelings of anger to learn where they began. Our work will not only change your anger reactions, but will also aid in decreasing the anger feeling itself.

Anger can destroy lives, families and relationships. I, as a professional, work on the idea of “he who angers you controls you”. Through a proven user friendly anger management process which incorporates many internal reflections, the client can begin to build more control over his/her emotions as a result more capable of handling difficult situations. Over time, through using these new skills, the client develops more confidence and assurance that he/she can deal with life’s challenges in a more calm and reasonable manner. Clients will also be provided with life long strategies and coping methods.

Managing your attitude and emotions is key to feeling at peace, capable of positive and loving relationships. There are many causes of anger reactions. Uncontrolled, anger can negatively impact health, career and family. Together, we explore your history and experience, triggers and reactions. Becoming more observant of your reactions allows you to be more attuned to what is happening. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps us understand reactions to triggers, negative thought patterns and the opportunities to shift inaccurate beliefs. Working together, we will build a variety of coping and problem-solving skills that will help you practice more effective approaches. Don't wait, let's begin.

Anger is a normal emotion. However, anger becomes a problem when it occurs frequently, is disproportionate to the situation that triggered it, when it leads to verbal or physical aggression, and when you cannot “let it go” even after the situation has passed. Anger management helps people identify the triggers for their anger and to develop strategies to manage those triggers so they do not lead to excessive or inappropriate anger. While it may not always feel like it, there is a step between whatever triggers your anger and your feelings and expression of anger. You may not be able to avoid the people or situations that make you angry, but you can learn to change your reactions to them.
