Therapy in DENVER & COLORADO for parents who want to learn skills to parent Anger-Free
Anger Therapy for Parents
More Connection. Less Anger.
I help parents of young children who are struggling with yelling, irritability, and conflict at home. Many parents — especially fathers — know the kind of parent they want to be, but stress, frustration, and ultimately anger keep getting in the way. Together, we'll build the tools to stop reacting and start responding with more calm, control, and connection.
You need support, understanding, and guidance if:
• You yell more than you want to.
• You feel triggered by your children’s behavior.
• You frequently argue with your spouse/partner/co-parent about parenting decisions.
• You want parenting coaching along with anger therapy.
• You need practical tools, not just insight.
How do you really want to show up for your kids?
Anger therapy + parenting-coaching helps parents understand triggers, reduce emotional overreaction, and respond with more control and clarity. Parenting coaching helps parents build structure at home, use effective consequences, communicate better with children, and stay more consistent as a parenting team.
Together, anger therapy + parenting coaching can help you:
• Stop yelling, threatening, and overreacting.
• Build a science-based discipline system that works.
• Improve communication with your spouse, partner, or co-parent.
• Reduce shame, guilt, and repeated conflict in the home.
• Become a calmer, stronger, more effective parent.
Anger Therapy FAQ’s
-
If you're yelling more than you want to, feeling triggered by your kids' behavior, or arguing with your partner about parenting, therapy can help — especially if you're willing to look honestly at what's happening in those moments and try something new.
Most parents I work with already know what they want to do. The problem is that in the heat of the moment, anger takes over before the "calm parent" can show up. Our work focuses on that gap: understanding your triggers, what's underneath the reaction, and building tools you can actually use at 5 p.m. on a hard day.
It works best when you can commit to regular sessions and practice between them. You don't need to have it all figured out before we start.

Direct, practical, and judgment-free. Every parent loses it sometimes.
You won't be lectured or made to feel like a bad parent. I combine anger therapy, which helps you understand and manage your own reactions, with parenting coaching, which gives you structure, effective consequences, and better ways to communicate with your kids and co-parent.
You'll leave sessions with concrete things to try at home, and we'll adjust based on what works.

Over my life, I have always been curious about and a bit weary of anger—both my own and others’. I was always confused as to why some people, including very intelligent, calm, rational adults, would be prone to explosive expressions of anger and sometimes, rage. As a long-time commuter, I pointed the finger (not literally…) at other drivers who surprised me with their Road Rage antics, many of which were very dangerous. So, when I needed to pick a research topic for my doctoral degree, I decided to study and report on the growing and alarming phenomenon of Road Rage. My findings led me to want to educate the public and help individuals in therapy to change their understanding of anger, improve their control over it, and develop the skills to be less angry, less often, and let more stuff go.
I have appreciated the opportunities to consult on many road rage and anger news stories on TV and the internet and in other forms of media over the years. I am honored to have helped hundreds of individuals in my private practice learn to Tame their Anger and find their calm again.

It varies, but most parents notice some change within the first month or two, often fewer blow-ups and faster recovery when they happen.
More consistent calm and a better routine at home usually take 3–6 months, and lasting change, with fewer triggers and a stronger connection with your kids and partner, typically comes within 6–12 months.
