Anger Issues

Anger is a necessary and useful emotion. Exploring this emotion in a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic space can support our awareness of how we respond and whether anger might be hiding emotions that we are less comfortable in expressing.

I help clients manage anger by addressing underlying causes like trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques, I support clients in identifying triggers, building coping skills, and improving emotional regulation. My culturally responsive approach, especially with Hispanic and Black communities, empowers clients to transform anger into personal growth and healthier relationships.

I have multiple years of experience providing therapy in relation to anger management. Specific strategies in therapy will involve the following: Collaboratively setting goals, identifying unhelpful thinking (develop cognitive skills), develop assertive communication skills, learning stress management tools, and identifying self-care strategies.

I have worked with clients to successfully resolve anger management issues by connecting triggers to past trauma and providing strategies to recognize & manage negative emotions.

Anger is a secondary emotion. This means that there are usually some other underlying feelings that are pushing it to the surface. This can be fear, sadness or humiliation. Also how we analyze what is going on outside of us, effects how we feel and act. Sometimes deep rooted issues are impacting our emotions. There are some strategies that can be used to help you regain control of your emotions.

My experience in this area include, creating, and running an anger-management group in an acute partial hospitalization program. Furthermore, I co-developed an anger-management curriculum for justice involved youth in Bergen county.

I created an anger management program when I was working for the DoD and helping Soldiers with domestic abuse, PTSD, and anger control issues. You have to be willing to admit that you have a problem before you can start working on the problem. I am direct and will confront you and will hold you accountable. I don't shy away, get my feelings hurt, and I don't give up on my clients. I don't have a problem when my client's curse or use foul language. Its okay to just tell it like it is!

You are angry. I understand. There is probably a reason! I'm not here to tell you not to feel what you feel, you are entitled to those feelings! What I can do is help you feel more responsible and in control of your reaction to that anger. If anger has caused problems in your life at you work, personal life or legally, I can help.

When you’re triggered, the “thinking” part of your brain shuts down, the fight or flight response takes over, and you react in explosive, self-defeating and harmful ways. Guess what; it’s not your fault. You didn’t choose to be triggered, did you? It’s not your fault that your brain evolved to keep you safe and alive at any cost. Your brain evolved to react—without thinking—to keep you safe. We can reprocess and heal your triggers so you no longer overreact in the absence of genuine threat.

I work with individuals to understand the myths about anger, to break the anger habit, to learn how to monitor and manage anger, to identify events that trigger anger and to develop strategies to prevent anger.

I can help by providing you with the specific tools needed to overcome your pain. Asking for help can be hard, and at the same time it is the first step toward regaining control of your life.

I am trained and certified as an Anger Management Trainer- Specialist.

Anger is my personal old friend. Having spice in life can make things interesting . . . until it burns it all down. If your anger has been making choices for you where you behave in ways you later regret (even if you can justify/rationalize it), our work will help you accept the emotion without having to act on it. Learning that emotions are for thinking and thinking is for doing and applying that concept to how you engage with your life—not to overstate, but it'll set you free.

I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help individuals understand and manage anger in healthy, constructive ways. Using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I guide clients in identifying triggers, improving emotional regulation, and developing effective coping skills. My holistic, person-centered approach fosters self-awareness and lasting change, empowering clients to express themselves with confidence, balance, and control.

Angry people are often misunderstood. I know the regret and shame that can come after losing your temper, yet again. While anger can bring out the worst parts of us that we usually like to keep hidden, it can also feel good to know that it keeps people from taking advantage or messing with us. Let's try to tame that anger so it feels like you're more in control of it, rather than the other way around.

Many individuals may be unaware that anger serves as a messenger emotion. Anger is a primary emotion that encompasses various subsystems of emotions. Metaphorically, anger is a vehicle transporting other emotions that are driving your anger. There are a multitude of reasons that can trigger anger; however, therapy can equip you with valuable techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes driving your anger.
