Meet Angela

I'm a licensed therapist who believes that every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported during life's most challenging moments. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences of navigating difficult transitions and searching for authentic connection.

After working with hundreds of women facing similar challenges, I've learned that healing isn't about "fixing" what's broken—it's about honoring your story, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and creating a life that truly reflects who you are.

Therapeutic Philosophy

My Therapeutic Philosophy

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey of discovery and growth. My approach is rooted in the understanding that you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and transform.

I integrate evidence-based practices with a holistic understanding of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This means we'll work together to understand not just your thoughts and feelings, but also how your physical health, relationships, cultural background, and spiritual beliefs all influence your well-being.

My goal is to help you develop practical tools and insights that you can use long after our sessions end, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Why I Work with Women

I've dedicated my practice to supporting women because I understand the unique challenges and pressures we face in today's world. Women often carry the weight of multiple roles and expectations, and I believe you deserve a space where you can be fully seen and supported.

Life Transitions

Career changes, relationship shifts, motherhood, empty nesting, and identity evolution

Cultural Pressures

Balancing tradition with personal needs, family expectations, and cultural identity

Self-Worth & Confidence

Building self-compassion, challenging perfectionism, and embracing authenticity

Emotional Wellness

Managing stress, anxiety, depression, and creating sustainable self-care practices

In our sessions, you'll find a space where your experiences are validated, your voice is heard, and your growth is celebrated. I'm committed to creating an environment where you can explore your authentic self without fear of judgment or pressure to conform to others' expectations.

My approach is warm, authentic, and down-to-earth. I believe in being real with my clients while maintaining the professional boundaries that keep our work effective and safe.

A Little About Me Outside of Therapy

I believe that being a good therapist means being a whole person. Here are some things that bring me joy and help me stay grounded in my own life.

🌿

Nature & Wellness

I find peace in hiking, gardening, and spending time outdoors. Nature has taught me about resilience and the beauty of growth.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family & Community

I'm deeply connected to my family and community. These relationships remind me of the importance of connection and support.

📚

Continuous Learning

I'm passionate about ongoing education and staying current with the latest research in mental health and therapeutic approaches.

🧘

Mindfulness Practice

I practice what I teach—mindfulness and self-care are essential parts of my daily routine and personal growth journey.

These personal interests and experiences inform my therapeutic approach and help me connect with clients on a human level. I believe that sharing our authentic selves—while maintaining appropriate boundaries—creates a more meaningful therapeutic relationship.
