The consequences of problem anger can be devastating. Anger can destroy relationships, cause people to lose their jobs, and lead to guilt and shame. Behind the wheel of a car, it can be lethal.

I believe that anger is a normal emotion that can be justified in any number of situations. Since anger is normal, I would never tell you that you should not feel it. Rather, my goal is to help you keep your anger at a comfortable level—where it will do no harm to yourself or others.

Through one-on-one counseling sessions, I can help you learn and practice skills such as:

• Awareness of your personal anger cues and triggers
• Relaxation
• How to remove yourself from a dangerous situation
• Assertiveness
• Problem-solving
• Strategic use of avoidance
• How to recognize the ways of thinking that fuel anger, and how to overcome them
