Imagine anger as a flame. Similar to fire, anger possesses the power to create and destroy. As individuals, we have the same capacity to utilize our emotional energy to shape the life we desire or to let it destroy all that is positive and cherished. Anger is complex and has varying effects based on expression and management that could lead to beneficial or detrimental consequences. PDG's Anger Management Program supports adults in managing anger constructively.

It is important for an individual to be free from the fear that does not allow one to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance. Whether it is struggling with a past trauma, loneliness, anxiety, anger, fear of not being accepted, feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”, I practice from a place of compassion and non-judgement. When a client expresses, they are ready for a change, I will “meet them where they are at” in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with diverse populations, at any stage in life, including individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
