Anger Management and Counselling in Sarnia, ON.

Anger is a natural emotion, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming or difficult to control. In my approach to anger management, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore what lies beneath the anger—often hurt, fear, or unmet needs. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal-informed practices to help you understand how anger shows up in both your mind and body. Together, we’ll develop practical tools to regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and express your feelings in healthy, constructive ways. My goal is to help you feel more in control, connected, and compassionate toward yourself and others.

Anger can feel like an emotional experience that we have no control over. In therapy, you can explore the root causes of anger and how it impacts your life, your experiences, and your relationships. You can learn skills to effectively respond to anger, ground yourself when feeling angry, and de-escalate when anger is impacting your relationships. I work with individuals, couples and families.

My approach to anger management focuses on helping clients understand what’s beneath the anger—not just stopping the reaction. Using CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed strategies, I help clients identify triggers, interrupt automatic responses, and express emotions in healthier, more effective ways. Clients learn practical skills for self-control, communication, and emotional regulation. Over time, they gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to manage conflict without exploding, shutting down, or damaging relationships.

My approach to anger management is centered on cultivating healthier ways to express and manage your feelings. I provide practical tools and a supportive environment for understanding and managing anger constructively. We will work together to help you identify and better understand your triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and fostering emotional regulation. If you're ready to take control of your emotions, reach out for a free consultation.

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, but I like to think of Anger as the part of you that loves you and wants to stand up for you when you’ve experienced something “unfair.” Anger does not always make the best decisions about when to stand up for you, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore how anger shows up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact it has on living the life you want to live.
