I am here to be a compassionate, non-judgmental witness to any human that needs one. I believe a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist is important to helping you grow and heal. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR trained. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, with an emphasis on trauma-work and sexual assault. I have experience working with couples, families, and individuals. I am also mindful of my clients’ intersectional and multicultural identities and how that may influence our work together.

I think all of us could use a little help at one time or another. Difficult situations can get the better of us, and we need someone to help us remember who we are, figure out our options, develop new skills, and make changes that support our growth. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family, I see my role as helping clients remember their strengths and capabilities, and find ways to work with the people they care about to create solutions.

"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." This famous Eleanor Roosevelt quote can be applied to many situations. When we get stuck -- in a rut at work, in a stormy relationship, in a lukewarm marriage, with our children -- we suffer but are often pulled to focus on the problem rather than finding a solution. Sometimes, we're not aware of what the actual issue is. All we can do is try to avoid the pain, skirt problems, even pretend we are fine. We are blocked by fear -- another word for anxiety. Together, we can walk slowly through that fear, and find that light.

I'm a mental health therapist who assists people to feel better and function more effectively in their lives. My skills cultivate the intrinsic, lasting mental health that is in each person. I also help people resolve psychological trauma so that it no longer negatively affects their life. I lean toward methods like mindfullness based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatic experiencing to cultivate innate mental health in each client. I expect you will find our relationship together to have unconditional positive regard, openness, curiosity, wisdom and compassion.

My passion is helping others navigate difficult times because sometimes life’s hurdles seem too big to conquer alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide therapy for teens (14+) and adults using a person-centered approach that incorporates a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client. My specialties include: trauma/PTSD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorder, grief, relationship difficulties, stress management, and general life adjustment issues. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to process life challenges, please give me a call. I look forward to working with you.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, and sometimes we need to reach out to others during these times. I am here to help you navigate any struggles that you may be experiencing. My goal is to provide a warm, safe environment for you to process your emotions, grieve, cope, and heal. I believe that everyone has strengths that we can build on in therapy, and my goal is to work with you to use these strengths to reach your goals.

Therapy, to me, should feel like coming home to yourself. My idea of therapy is to partner with you as a cheerleader, an encourager, a challenger, someone who will fight for you to show up for yourself and for you to take up more space in this world. I am comfortable working with many different concerns and transitions. I am genuinely excited to journey alongside you.

I help teens and adults reprocess and distance the pains of past hurts and traumas. Clients who engage in therapy with me are tired of emotions jumbling up their life and are tired of memories stealing their precious moments of time. Clients are able to reprocess painful and traumatic memories and start living life again without the sting of those troubling memories.

Does your life feel like the “This is fine” meme? You're just trying to get through your day, enjoy your coffee, but it seems like everything around you is on fire! Maybe you also feel on fire but you just try to ignore it and get done what needs to be done... But it's not working... You find yourself drowning in the day to day trying to take care of everything and everyone else and you're tired and overwhelmed. It's not clear if you're impacted most by your current stress or if maybe you are suffering because there's something from your past that just seems to keep coming up.

Guided by an overarching humanistic perspective, Angela believes individuals possess an innate motivation for personal growth. At times, life provides occasional, and sometimes persistent, obstacles that hinder our motivation to endure the emotional turbulence accompanying the path to our full potential. A person’s journey is as unique as their fingerprint, and the therapeutic process is no different. Whether one’s goals are interrupted due to internal or external factors, Angela strives to deliver treatment catered to the individual and their influences.

I am excited to provide individual and family therapy to the Greater Manhattan Area. As a therapist I am firmly rooted in attachment and systems theories. These theories guide me in individual and family sessions with my clients. I have a real passion for family therapy and often feel energized by working with multiple family members at once. I am open to working with all age ranges and have a talent for working with children under the age of 5 years old.

Are you running on fumes? Feeling like you are stuck, unmotivated, or just not in the headspace you want? Maybe you’re walking through a hard season of life as a parent, child, employer, or friend. I am here to help.
