LCSW, 19 years of experience
I hold licenses as a clinical social worker and a clinical addiction counselor. My educational background includes a BA in Psychology from Purdue University and a Master's in Social Work from Indiana University (2006). My experience includes 8 years in private practice, 12 years addressing the needs of DCS/probation/court-ordered clients, 7 years in a jail setting (including 6 years as a clinical supervisor), and a role as a clinical director at an addiction recovery center. My experience spans working with first responders, groups, couples, and individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, crisis situations, gender issues, adjustment disorder, parenting challenges, stress, self-esteem, codependency, relationship difficulties, and more.
The first session is focused on getting acquainted and gathering comprehensive information. Although intake forms provide some understanding, often there are more questions that arise. If needed, you will be provided with a variety of tools and tasks to equip you for the following sessions.
I tailor treatment to the individual, which may include one, or many, different modalities.
I won't set goals for you until I'm certain you can reach them, and you won't be alone in this journey. As a compassionate and caring individual, I am extremely resourceful and can provide you with the tools necessary to live a healthy and fulfilling life. I will certainly encourage you to become the best version of yourself! However, I don't enable. My method is focused on ensuring the best results for you, telling you what you need to know and do, rather than what you want to hear. I aim to optimize your time, understanding its value.

Angela is very good at listening and then giving direct feedback. I also love how she asks questions to help me think about situations? She engages and has very good insight into the issues we talk about.
