Anger can be so tricky to deal with. Society conditions us to fear and judge anger in ourselves and each other, but the truth is; Anger is a fundamentally human, primal, physiologic response to experiences that threaten our emotional and physical safety. Anger is hurt's bodyguard. It's there to protect us and it is worthy of compassion, honor and validation. I work with clients to help them understand their anger more astutely, release shame around it, learn about it's connection to the autonomic nervous system, express or channel it into safe and healthy outlets, and earn skills to effectively manage it in everyday life.

We often think of anger as a check engine light that tells us we need to pull over and see what's going on under the hood. Often times, when we look under the hood, we see hurt, disappointment, sadness, rejection, or other softer emotions. Our aim is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to help you identify and manage these emotions and find more helpful ways of expressing them.

If you are "an angry guy/person", I don't believe you are a bad human being. Anger is an emotion that makes a lot of sense normally, and it comes from somewhere. Collaboratively, let's explore the roots of anger and figure out how we can develop strategies to not only cope, but release anger in a way that is healthier.
