Anger Management Therapist in Venice

Understand Your Anger. Transform Your Reactions. Reclaim Your Calmness.

In our therapy sessions, you will learn how to:

    •    Recognize your early warning signs and triggers

    •    Identify the emotional needs behind your anger

    •    Release repressed anger in safe, constructive ways

    •    Use mindfulness and breathing techniques to calm your nervous system

    •    Communicate more assertively and effectively

    •    Heal unresolved issues that fuel chronic irritability or resentment

    •    Prevent anger from damaging your relationships or self-esteem

Anger itself isn’t the problem—it’s a signal. But when it becomes explosive, suppressed, or difficult to control, it can damage relationships, cloud your judgment, and lead to deep regret. If you’re tired of feeling out of control, ashamed of your reactions, or walking on eggshells around your own emotions, therapy can help.

As a therapist specializing in anger management, I provide a safe space to explore what’s beneath the surface. Anger often masks deeper feelings—hurt, fear, shame, or grief. Together, we’ll uncover the root of your reactions and develop healthier ways to express yourself, set boundaries, and respond rather than react.

You don’t have to fear your anger—or be ruled by it. With the right tools and insight, you can channel it into strength, clarity, and meaningful change.

Let’s turn your anger into awareness—and your power into peace.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
