Beyond simply trying harder
You may be frustrated with a recurring argument, a sudden spike of anger, or the guilt that follows. Telling yourself to stay calm may not tell you much about what is driving the pattern. In therapy, we can look more closely at difficult moments without treating anger as the whole of who you are. I offer a warm, direct, and nonjudgmental space to talk about what you are experiencing and what matters to you.
Understanding and practicing
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. We might look at an interpretation that feels certain in the moment, the emotions underneath a reaction, or a situation that keeps repeating. We can practice concrete tools and talk about how they fit into your daily life. That work is collaborative: I do not promise fewer reactions within a certain number of sessions or a result that can be guaranteed.
Making room for the bigger picture
Anger may be the concern you notice first, while stress, trauma, mood changes, or substance use are also part of your experience. We can make room for those connections rather than only naming the symptom on the surface. This is individual outpatient therapy, not a claim to provide every anger-related service. If you need a mandated program, specialized violence intervention, or urgent safety support, confirm the appropriate service rather than assuming this practice can supply it.
What should I ask before starting?
Is this a court-approved anger management program?
I do not offer a court-approved or mandated anger-management program. Please do not book expecting sessions to meet a court or agency requirement.
Do you work with couples?
I see individual adults and seniors. I do not offer couples therapy. We can talk about whether individual therapy fits your goals.
Can you guarantee I will stop getting angry?
No. Therapy does not come with that guarantee. We can explore patterns and practice responses, then discuss whether our work is fitting your needs.
