I am an integrative and culturally sensitive driven therapist who works with teens and adults to unlearn systemic inequalities and process intergenerational trauma, grief, and anxiety, so you can confidently befriend your feelings, navigate life transitions, step into authenticity, and feel more at home in yourself. Often times when we are going through something difficult, it can be hard to see our way out. This may lead to spiraling thoughts, a lost sense of security & safety, thinking "I'm not good enough", consistently feeling on edge, and feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

Hello, I’m Angela, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. More specifically, I help spark change in people’s lives and relationships. I call my style of therapy “real talk”, because it is different than talking to a blank face that nods and takes notes. I am a real person who relates to my clients in a genuine way, and works collaboratively to listen, offer insights, and uncover what may be blocking the path towards healing. Little known fact: humor is not off-limits in therapy.

Many of us, at one time or another, experience a feeling of being overwhelmed by life. There are even phases when everything seems to be going wrong. Anxiety and depression are common responses to the difficulties of life. If you are on here searching for help you are most likely at a point in your life where things feel out of balance.

Sometimes we struggle to make meaning where life has thrown us a curveball: a death, a divorce, coming out, or even a pandemic. It’s overwhelming trying to bring order to chaos, at times having to impossibly reconcile competing truths. “It gets better” fails to appreciate the acute pain of the moment, only going so far in moving the needle towards hope. In an age where humans are increasingly polarized, buoyed by deeply held beliefs, there remains a need for something more than personal happiness alone. As a relational Therapist, I help clients find sustainable wellness; prioritizing relationship with self and others over ideology.

Relationship dynamics and conflict resolution have always interested me. Because of personal and educational experiences, I believe even the deepest of conflicts can be reconciled and that when individuals increase their self-esteem, they feel more empowered to engage with others honestly and confidently. It brings me joy to support people through trials as they discover deep truths about themselves, those around them and the intersection between the two. I use a variety of modalities—CBT, EFT, Gottman and more—to help clients identify and reframe their thoughts so they can repair, restore, and restrengthen their relationships.

I work with children, teens and parents who are struggling with big emotions, difficult behaviors, and power struggles that leave everyone feeling disconnected and unheard. As a parent, I understand that at the root of things, nothing compares to the love you have for your child. Seeing them struggle can be heartbreaking. Even though nobody knows your child the way you do, it's oftentimes hard to understand what's underneath their emotional outbursts, worries and fears. I support families in decoding their kid's behaviors, repairing emotional connection, and build on natural strengths to make lasting changes.

I work with clients within an attachment-based/relational framework, which posits that healing and transformation occurs through a safe, authentic, empathically attuned, and responsive therapeutic relationship. From this framework, I tend to integrate several different approaches to therapy. Common to each approach is an emphasis on increasing self-awareness and understanding of yourself, which includes your emotional and relational needs and how you go about trying to meet those needs in either helpful or unhelpful ways.

As a certified Lifespan Integration therapist, I work with clients to heal trauma, ease anxiety and depression and help manage challenging life transitions. Lifespan Integration is experiential and uses gentle bottom-up processing to increase neural integration and attain resolution. For most people, both big T and little t trauma are felt viscerally and therefore requires an approach that recognizes the body-mind system. When we are triggered, it is difficult to use skills or reason to override a sense of danger. Additionally, these same triggers persist even when we know full well there is no threat.

Integrative Therapists
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
