Hello! My name is Angela, and I have been working in a private practice setting now for 5 years, and prior was in a community mental health setting for 3 years. I have extensive experience working with all traumas across the lifespan (including veterans), as well as co-occuring / substance abuse disorders and gambling disorders. I also have helped many with anxiety and OCD over come their battles with specific techniques i've been trained in! If you're ready to start the process, please reach out! I look forward to working with you!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I'll let you in on a secret: Therapists are humans too!! I may be the "expert" when it comes to therapy, however you are the expert on YOU. We are a team in sessions. Without you feeling comfortable with me, I cant help you. Many clients have told me that the unity in our sessions has helped greatly, but please remember, I will still encourage and push you, but I'll also say the hard things when you may need to hear them. Through the entire process I will be there with you while you continue to grow!
