I am deeply dedicated to providing the individualized attention necessary for each of my clients to build a more fulfilling life. I prioritize my client’s unique perspective and desires when collaborating on a treatment plan. This is achieved by providing a confidential place in which clients are met with authenticity, kindness, respect, acceptance, and a bit of humor. Life can be crazy and heavy at times; sometimes we just have to laugh.

I see incredible strength in my clients who are willing to step out of their comfort zone in pursuit of a more fulfilling life. With this in mind, I am always researching, reading, or attending trainings in order to provide the best service possible to meet my client’s needs. I utilize various empirically supported treatment interventions to support my client’s individualized treatment plan. I truly believe that everyone is able to create a life they are proud of.

Hi, I’m Angela, welcome!

Navigating life’s most challenging moments requires a supportive and understanding guide. I am dedicated to providing just that, specializing in trauma-informed counseling to help individuals heal from past wounds. My expertise also extends to crucial areas like suicide prevention and compassionate support for suicide survivors, as well as guiding clients through the complexities of grief and adjustment disorders. Working with both adolescents and adults, my approach is rooted in an existential framework, encouraging clients to find meaning and agency in their unique journeys, and a relational-cultural perspective that values the power of connection and belonging.

As a staunch advocate and provider for the LGBTQIA+ community, I am committed to fostering a therapeutic space where every individual feels seen, heard, and deeply respected.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate:

● Traumatic grief including - death by homicide, suicide, natural disaster, and accidental death

● End-of-life concerns

● Military & Veteran mental health issues

● Critical Incident Stress Management Debriefing

● Adjustment issues

● Life challenges

Guiding Your Way with Purposeful Approaches:

● Existential Exploration: Life’s big questions – meaning, purpose, freedom, isolation, and death – can be daunting. I provide a space to explore these universal concerns, helping you find clarity, develop resilience, and create a life aligned with your values.

● Relational-Cultural Empowerment: I recognize the profound impact of societal expectations, power dynamics, and gender roles on mental well-being. My relational and cultural-informed approach empowers you to challenge limiting beliefs, reclaim your agency, and build a stronger sense of self, free from oppressive norms.

● Culturally Competent Care: Your unique background, experiences, and cultural identity are central to who you are. I am deeply committed to providing culturally sensitive therapy that respects your beliefs, traditions, and lived realities, ensuring a truly inclusive and understanding environment.
