When gripped by anxiety, depression, grief or shame we can lose our joy and sense of ourselves. We long for connection, but it can be difficult to thrive in relationships when we are suffering. We can end up feeling alone in our anger, fear, sadness, loss or pain. I can be there to listen and accompany you on the journey towards healing and self-acceptance.

Difficult problems are not so much solved, as outgrown. I help people do this through the in-depth and compassionate examination of both the present and past, both inner and outer worlds, in an effort to understand the relationship between them. When this is done with sincerity, the result is that we come to know and value ourselves in a totally new way. It becomes possible to free ourselves from negative patterns that often go back generations.

Currently accepting new clients as part of the “Money Mapping Group” (see below). Do you tell yourself “I’m bad with money"? Are you accumulating debt? Do you avoid looking at your finances? Do you undercharge and overspend? Does the word “bank” make you feel uneasy? Do you find yourself teetering between the feeling that money is evil but also, that you’re not worthy of money? These are common disordered financial behaviors; not only because we find ourselves in a capitalist society, but also because money can be both a source and a response to trauma.

When life's challenges become too overwhelming, our mind & body can feel stuck, out of control, & alone in our experience. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others around you, numb to your emotions, or in a constant state of anxiousness. This pain can start in early childhood & is built on throughout our life, or it can be a single event that destabilizes our internal resources. It’s important to remember these responses are normal adaptations by the mind & body to abnormal situations.

Hi, I’m Angela. I’ve been described as approachable, warm, and down-to-earth. Many of my clients come to me saying they had a "pretty good" upbringing, but we often uncover deeper layers together. Through dreamwork, embodiment, and somatic therapy, we explore the socially constructed narratives that shape how we see ourselves, the world, and our relationships. These stories and beliefs influence our values and identities in subtle but powerful ways. From my own experience, I've found that having professional guidance can be incredibly helpful on the journey back to reconnecting with your body, voice, and inner wisdom.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 14 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Somatic Psychotherapy halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.
