Has life thrown you a curve ball?! Each new day can bring change or challenges that we may not always feel prepared to deal with.

I provide individual, family and group counseling for those persons experiencing mental health diagnosis(anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD), separation, divorce, parenting, behavioral, school and work related issues. I utilize a multi-modal treatment approach designed specifically to meet your unique situation and needs.

In my practice I take a collaborative approach with adult clients. Together we seek balance, change and acceptance. These factors contribute to achievement of pleasure and fulfillment in life and relationships. My strength is that I incorporate the theory of cognitive therapy with the concept that past experiences and interactions have an influence on current beliefs and behavioral patterns. Through this approach, I am able to come to a more complete conceptualization and establish trust and rapport with my clients which enables them to engage in the therapeutic process more fully.

My personal goal is to facilitate healing, inspire, educate as well as empower individuals, married couples and/or families on their journey to renewal, restoration and/or enhancement within their lives. I believe every individual has their own personal influential strength and unique extraordinary qualities that are uniquely established within us, and when identified, can bring enrichment and revival into their everyday life. Recognizing how to identify, utilize, and ignite that greatness that lies deep within us should be discovered on a daily basis as it can affect each one of us, our families, interpersonal relationships, etc.

A Different Approach! Traditional methods of treatment join together with Holistic (Alternative) practices. My approach is down-to-earth, accessible and welcomes all people of every belief system and/or faith. Talk therapy, CBT, and psycho-dynamic work blend with Energy Psychology, Tarot Psychology, Meditation and more to create a balancing of Mind, Body, Emotion and Spirit so that you can continue to heal yourself even when you are not in session. This approach is based on empowerment and is perfect for people with any level of spiritual practice, whether they believe in the Divine or just feel drawn to Nature or energy work.

My goal is to facilitate mindfulness-based efficacious approaches, watchfulness and compassion in the therapeutic context, to strengthen and ignite greatness within. I have experience treating a wide variety of mental disorders, brain, neurodivergent presentations, behavioral challenges, and guiding people of all ages through difficult periods of life. I look forward to exploring your road to recovery together, whether through individual, family, or marriage counseling, utilizing mindfulness or music therapies!

“Wellness” means something different to everyone. Mental and emotional wellness are key to living a healthy, happy life. My approach to therapy combines traditional methodologies with components of mindfulness & breath work. Using a client-centered yet eclectic approach, I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship in a safe, comfortable environment. The therapeutic process is a personal & individualized one, and as such this allows me to meet you in the present while being a catalyst through your change process.

Hello! My name is Angela, and I want to thank you for prioritizing your mental health and wellness. I enjoy working with people who need support in managing their anxiety and depression, healing trauma and relationship issues, and accepting themselves fully. We live in a world that constantly tells us we are not enough, and I understand how disheartening that can be. My power lies in my ability to listen to others with a non-judgmental ear as they discuss their struggles and hardships. It is rewarding to be able to serve others in this way.

I am only accepting testing clients at this time. Throughout life, many of us will experience some sort of emotional issue. Some we can handle on our own, and others we may want to explore on a deeper level with a specialist. I look forward to working with those who are brave enough to face these issues head on, and to explore some of the underlying reasons why these issues have manifested. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, yoga therapy, bariatric evals, LGBTQ concerns, adjustment disorders, as well as testing and assessment (ADHD and PTSD Screenings, neuropsychological and psychological/personality testing with report).
