Anger Management
Take Complete Control Of Your Anger And create comfort in your life
Anger is a natural and healthy response to danger. Anger tells us we are threatened.
I help my clients to identify the threat and develop solid steps to protect themselves from danger without compromising their peace of mind or balance within relationships at home, in the office and elsewhere.
It is normal to experience anger and sometimes anger is the appropriate response to misbehavior by others. Managed correctly, and kept in check, anger is an important ally for a healthy adult.
But anger has great risks, perhaps more than any other emotion. Anger can alienate us from people; it can lead us to do things we later may regret. Anger may arise not due to the present situation, but because the present situation reminds us at a subconscious level of a past experience. Anger may be a habitual defense against sadness or fear.
If you are suffering from inappropriate use of anger and it is threatening relationships with people YOU love—family, friendship, at work–do not lose hope.
Shift the power anger gives you toward Positive Goals
Anger is a tool. Think of it as a hammer. You may be using a hammer to clean a counter instead of a sponge. I will help you identify when the anger tool is called for and how best to use it.
Used correctly, anger can: protect us from harm, help us get our needs met, and prevent us from despairing.
You may have learned from an early age to use it inappropriately because other emotions (fear, weakness, need) were not allowed. You may have learned to use it recently in response to overwhelming life events (relationships, responsibilities, road blocks and set-backs) that you felt you couldn’t control any other way.
You may now be feeling that those same life events are perhaps spiraling out of your control and away from you because of the very anger you used to try to control them. The wrong tool is being used. You have many others. I will help you find and use them.

Here’s what my clients say about me:

I have seen Lori on and off since I was a teenager and she has helped me in more ways than I could count.
She is extremely knowledgeable and has a way of making me feel understood regarding whatever I may be going through. I’ve also had some family members see her and she has helped them tremendously as well!!
I couldn’t be more grateful for the hand she’s played in my life. If you’re looking for someone to help you move through the ups and downs of life I highly recommend Lori!

[…] Lori has given me strength inside of myself I never knew I had. Within our very first encounter in person she was able to pry out EXACTLY what my blocks were in my life mentality… it was unreal.
Now on top of my personal sessions (that I never miss), my wife and I both go to Lori for couples therapy as well, and man has she improved our relationship tenfold from being more communicative, to learning cues for each other etc.
I was very “high and mighty” and against ever needing to go to therapy, but as soon as I went and experienced a session with Lori, I knew that this investment was worth it, and I knew that Lori truly has everybodys best interest in mind.
She doesn’t “press” you to keep coming, you can come and go at your own will, but we WANT to be there because of how positive we feel once we leave. A 5 star therapist no doubt, and the only one I will ever use.
