Most people don't have an anger problem. They have an unmet needs problem that comes out as anger. Or a communication problem that turns every disagreement into a fight. Or a lifetime of bottled-up frustration that finally started leaking. Understanding the difference matters, and that's where I start.
I focus on frustration and anger, relationship challenges, and family dynamics. If things at home feel tense, if you and your partner keep having the same argument in different costumes, or if you've been told you need to "work on your anger" but no one ever explained how, I can help with that.
My approach is warm but structured. I want to understand what's happening in your life, and I want to help you build specific skills to handle it differently. That means we'll talk about what triggers you, what you actually need in those moments, and how to ask for it in a way that doesn't push people away.
I think good communication is a skill, not a personality trait. Anyone can learn it. The same goes for managing strong emotions. It isn't about suppressing anything. It's about creating enough space between the feeling and the reaction that you get to choose what happens next.
I'm easygoing and I don't judge. You can be honest about the things you aren't proud of. That's actually when the most useful work happens.
