Anger Management

Do you find yourself losing your temper easily? Do you yell, name-call, or lash out when things get overwhelming? Maybe your partner or kids feel like they have to walk on eggshells. If so, you’re not alone—and you’re not a bad person.

Anger is a normal emotion, but when it starts to hurt your relationships, your health, or your self-respect, it might be time to get help. I offer anger management therapy in Calgary and throughout Alberta, both in person and virtually, to help individuals understand and manage their emotional responses in a healthier way.

Signs You Might Benefit from Anger Therapy

You don’t have to be physically aggressive to struggle with anger. People come to anger management counselling for many reasons, including:

  • Getting irritated or impatient over small things

  • Name-calling, yelling, or becoming verbally aggressive

  • Feeling defensive or resentful when asked to talk about emotions

  • Experiencing road rage, work-related outbursts, or relationship conflicts

  • Being told by others that your anger is intimidating or scary

  • Feeling regret or shame after reacting impulsively

  • Suppressing anger until it explodes

Recognizing that your anger is causing harm is a brave and crucial first step toward change.

Who Can Benefit from Anger Management Counselling?

Anger management therapy is helpful for a wide range of people, including those who are:

  • Experiencing anger related to stress, burnout, or anxiety

  • Struggling with trauma or PTSD-related triggers

  • Recovering from substance use or in early recovery

  • Living with brain injuries or neurodivergent conditions that affect emotional regulation

  • Feeling out of control emotionally or ashamed of how they react

  • Looking to improve family relationships, workplace dynamics, or parenting

Whether your anger has caused legal trouble, relationship strain, or just internal frustration, therapy can help you regain control and rebuild trust.

What to Expect from Anger Management Therapy

As a Certified Clinical Counsellor based in Alberta with over 14 years of experience, I offer a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you explore what’s beneath your anger and how to work through it constructively. My approach is:

  • Evidence-based, drawing from CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Trauma-informed, acknowledging how past experiences shape emotional reactions

  • Practical and personalized, with tools you can use in real-life situations

  • Focused on emotional regulation, communication skills, and impulse control

Together, we’ll develop a game plan tailored to your goals, whether that means fewer outbursts, stronger boundaries, or healthier ways to express frustration.

What You'll Gain Through Therapy

In anger management counselling, clients often learn how to:

  • Understand their anger triggers

  • Recognize early warning signs of escalation

  • Practice calming techniques in the moment

  • Improve communication without aggression

  • Reflect and repair when things go wrong

  • Build patience, self-awareness, and self-compassion

These skills can lead to better relationships, increased self-esteem, and a more peaceful daily life.
