Everything starts to feel tighter, and I'm not talking about your pants.

​

Life loses its color. Your focus narrows. Things turn black and white.

​

The sound of your kids chewing. The TV in the next room. Your wife mentioning the need for a new holiday wreath. 

​

It can be almost anything but it's all feeling tight. Like barbed wire twisting just behind the eyes.
Or a quiet, calm compulsion to punch a hole in the wall.

​

If someone were to notice and ask how we were feeling you might say "annoyed." That's if we were trying to be honest.
Most of the time we just grin and say "I'm fine."

​

But it's getting harder to hide. The old distractions aren't working.  Supressing it until the weekend isn't working. You might be drinking more, or whatever.

​

And it's not working. It's spilling over now, the wife and kids are seeing it. Our loved ones are noticing and they don't like it. They're worried.
 

You are too.
That's why you're here.

​

Here's the Good News

I don’t see anger as the problem.
I see it as evidence.

​

Anger means something still matters to you. It means there’s energy, agency, a will to act that hasn’t gone numb. In the right shape, anger is strength. In the wrong shape, it scorches the very things you’re trying to protect.

​

The problem isn’t anger.
It’s that you haven’t learned how to get beneath it and figure out what matters, or what to do with what you’re feeling, in a way you can actually live with.

 

How I Work With Anger

Anger is energy.
Energy isn’t meant to be erased. It’s meant to be directed.

​

When stress piles up, anger often takes over because it’s fast and accessible. But when anger blocks everything else, the flow of experience becomes turbulent. I can help you slow that current just enough for you to feel what’s underneath and decide where your strength actually belongs.

​

Anger is power in motion. 
Left unchecked, it explodes. 
Guided well, it becomes leverage.

​

I will help you learn to read what your anger is signaling and aim it toward purpose instead of conflict. When anger aligns with your values, it transforms. It becomes courage. Conviction. Direction. You stop reacting.
You start choosing.

​

More Good News

Anger is one of the most workable emotions in therapy. You don’t have to get rid of it. You don’t have to soften yourself into something you’re not.

​

You learn to use the energy that fuels anger differently.

​

I can help you learn to turn that fuel into intention and purpose. So the same energy that once caused problems can be put to good use.
