The fact that you are viewing this page already tells me something about you: You want to feel better. Bravo! This step is the first and sometimes the most difficult. I work well with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to deepen their understanding of current challenges, discover hope, and feel empowered to make change. ​I am most passionate about helping adults work through difficulties in their relationships (past, present, or future) and families with children who are struggling behaviorally and/or emotionally.

Are you OK? So many of us are experiencing anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Some of us feel stuck in our careers or lost in destructive patterns in our relationships. Perhaps you’re still grieving a lost loved one and feeling as though the hole in your heart will never heal – or maybe some trauma in your past has you trapped in a cycle of unwanted or unhealthy thoughts or behaviors. There is hope! We were designed to heal, and healing often takes place within safe relationships and connections with others. Therapy provides that safe relationship where real change can occur.

Making the initial call is the first courageous step in beginning the process of healing and improving quality of life.

There are seasons in life when direction from a professional can make a difference; in family relationships, peer relationships and marriage relationships. I believe in empowering people to become the best they can be by understanding from where they came. This awareness of your family of origin brings knowledge, and empowers you to work through the past and move forward to a more fulfilled life. Getting to know you and your concerns is the beginning of a therapeutic relationship which will allow me to assist in fostering your personal goals.

Sometimes life gets heavy. You can end up feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, and alone. When you feel anxious or depressed, you want relief. I can understand and support you. I want you to know it can get better! Working together can be the start of living the life you want.

Reaching out is the beginning of your path to well-being.

Now Accepting New Clients! Hi, I'm Angela and I am a Marriage and Family therapist who works with couples and individuals struggling with self esteem, relationship issues, and understanding themselves and their emotions. You are more than what your struggles are, so I want to emphasize the importance of knowing you as an individual and how all of your relationships, responsibilities, and life experiences impact and shape who you are and how you interact with the world around you. I believe that building and creating meaningful and healthy relationships with ourselves and others has the power to help us live fulfilling lives.

Anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, infertility, and professional burnout can be very overwhelming and make you feel alone and exhausted. My clients often come to therapy looking for relief from the emotional and physical effects of these stressors that impact their relationships and wellbeing. In therapy, together we can work to strengthen your coping skills, set and maintain healthy boundaries, gain insight and alter patterns that are no longer working for you, build more satisfying relationships, and improve your confidence and trust in yourself.

I work with individuals to enhance their relationships, manage their anxiety and stress more effectively and help them to achieve a greater sense of happiness and satisfaction in their lives.

A safe space to be truly heard, seen and understood. Whether you are grieving, experiencing anxiety, having difficulty in a relationship, or looking for support while going through a life transition, therapy is a place to talk, reflect, cry, and sometimes even laugh. It is a form of caring for yourself. To pause. To reset. To take a breath.
