Anger Management Therapists in Calgary, AB
My background includes treating anxiety, depression, and stressors such as relationship difficulties, family conflict, emotional dysregulation, communication challenges, low self-esteem, anger management, and intimate partner violence.
I understand that at times life can be overwhelming and even the simple things can feel impossible. In these times I believe it is essential to reach out for support to remind ourselves that even the most difficult emotions and situations do not last forever. I am a person-centered therapist who believes in a collaborative practice to support you through whatever life throws your way. We have all experienced the discomforts that come with being human, we do not need to navigate these alone.

I specialize in helping teens and adults struggling with issues around anger management, relationship issues, addictions or depression to develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and feel more connected with themselves and others.
Are you struggling to break your bad habits and keep healthy relationships? Maybe you're repeating unhelpful behaviors no matter how hard you try to change. Are you dealing with the consequences of impulsive decisions, losing control, or substance use? Often, these actions are the ways you learned to cope with the stresses of life to protect yourself or overcome challenges during difficult periods. When these coping mechanisms show up in life and relationships, they frequently contribute to conflict and pain. I help individual and couples better understand themselves and make lasting change with solo or marriage counselling.

As a Registered Psychologist with over a decade of experience in anger management, I use EMDR therapy to address the root causes of your anger.
Anger seems to control your life. You find yourself lashing out at loved ones, colleagues, or even strangers. The smallest things set you off, and you're tired of feeling like a ticking time bomb. You've tried to control it, but the anger always finds a way to surface. You've pushed people away, damaged relationships, and maybe even jeopardized your career. Deep down, you know this isn't who you want to be, but you don't know how to change.

Some of my expertise involves working with trauma, anger problems, depression and anxiety.
People have different needs in therapy - some want to be heard and make sense of their experiences, while others want to learn new skills to navigate problems. We can meet to process difficult experiences, cope with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, or change something about your behaviour.

Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' You're likely reading these profiles to suss out who a good person is to talk to . If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: fear, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these can lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: avoidance, procrastination, addiction, disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.

How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
