I don't think there is any problem with you letting your anger out. Hopefully you can start getting more assertive with Stella. Even when you apologized to her. Just remember you need to let it out.

So try a different approach, and if the only thing that works is anger with
Stella, then start letting the anger out. Just make sure she knows its helping you.

I used to write a letter to someone, never send it. And just put it in a drawer or in a file on the computer. Telling them the anger I was feeling sometimes
not even they were the person I was angry at. Just got the anger out for
all things to the one person.

It usually worked.
