Anger
Safe one-on-one sessions to explore who you are and how
you can create new possibilities
Things have gotten so
out of control.
You’ve completely blown it.
You’d do absolutely anything to go back in time, rewind.
Unfortunately, there are no do-overs, but we can learn from what we did and make sure we’re never in the same situation again.
“How could I have allowed myself to get to this point?”
Whether you recently got out of jail from a domestic dispute, challenges with holding an intimate relationship because you blew up, I’m here to tell you we can figure this out.
There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Your life doesn’t have to be this way.
It’s crazy how things can
happen in seconds.
It’s almost baffling. Like ‘who is this person?’ or ‘where did this side of me come from?’
I’ve been there myself – snapping off in relationships and having trouble maintaining any healthy relationships, shutting down, ending up in jail because of total loss of control.
Having been there myself, I’d love to support you in showing you what has been immediately effective for me at managing at my own anger.

Irritated, snappy, and
constantly on-edge…
Do you find yourself so agitated with others that you just snap… going from 0 to 100 in an instant?
If you struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings…
… then things can get frustrating! If you are struggling with frustration and anger, you’re not alone.
For years, you’ve bottled up your own thoughts and opinions for either fear of what others might think or to please other people. Or held in your feelings since you were younger. Growing up in a family that never talked about emotions or feelings. Years of holding it in and you just can’t take things anymore. Like you just want to explode.
Do you just want to pop off?!
It’s like people know your buttons and know precisely how to push them. Or feeling like someone is getting under your very skin. ‘How can they say that?’ ‘How can they do that?’ ‘The nerve.’
Over time, anger can build up in the body and lead to complications…
… like high blood pressure or heart attacks.
Other physical manifestations of anger include grinding your teeth, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, increased and rapid heart rate, headache/pressure in the head. Living with these risks ‘in the background’ can have long-term effects on your life. Unresolved anger issues could lead to problems with concentration and memory. These symptoms can make it difficult to perform day to day tasks over time and can add to overall anger towards life.
You CAN get your anger under control,
and I’m here to help.
We’ll explore what triggers you, consciously and subconsciously.
We’ll look at what’s really getting you upset. Conscious triggers can include things like someone cutting you off in traffic or being rude to you. Unconscious triggers though can be someone else’s insecurities or their lack of communication with you.
In therapy, we closely look at your frustrations, the deep-seated feelings you experience from these frustrations, the thoughts that go through your mind during these times of frustrations, how you react/respond during these times, and then deeply explore your rooted/underlying fears. Identifying these triggers helps with seeing ‘the monster’ for what it is. When we’re able to see ‘the monster’ we’re able to manage it better.

You’ll acquire tools to help you reduce your reactivity and manage your anger.
Tools for example – naming your ‘monster’ and learning how to recognize it, see it, practice detaching from it to manage it better. When we detach from it, it’s easier to see it and manage it better. Sometimes it’s hard for us to detach from it on our own because we feel so much guilt and shame around this ‘monster’.
Other goals are learning how to have healthy relationships (now that we’ve learned how to manage our anger). We’ll replace it with what having healthy relationships look like – with everyone (family or intimate for example).
We will explore shifting to healthy core values (presence, purpose, authenticity, integrity, passion, to name some examples) by building a healthy relationship with yourself. Practicing implementing small, daily goals and routines to build a balanced lifestyle to your liking. For example, developing and implementing a morning routine that works for you and helps you fill up your love cup.
You don’t have to live ready to explode.
There is hope!
Sometimes we feel embarrassed or ashamed asking for help… unfortunately it’s because of this that gets us to these places. I get it because I’ve been there myself.
It’s okay not to be okay. I don’t judge. I’m here to support you in a space where you can be free to be yourself.
To better help you understand rather than beat yourself up and judge.
