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!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions 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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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!
