I specialize in working with first responders, veterans, and their families to deal with the effect of seeing, hearing, and/or being directly involved in critical incidents. Since each of us are unique, I take a person-centered and individualized approach to therapy. I help those I work with increase their coping skills to better handle anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma responses. Hello, my name is Angie, and I would be honored to hear your story and experiences. As a social worker, I have a strong ability to connect with people and quickly build rapport. I have been working in the field for 10 years and have been a LICSW since 2021. I encourage people to actively participate in therapy and expect effort in making changes to achieve your goals. I utilize different therapeutic modalities depending on your individual needs. Some examples include: Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with getting to know each other and learning how we can best work together. We will discuss any concerns or questions you may have regarding your following therapy sessions. If time allows, we will create an individualized treatment plan with specific goals to work on and, if needed, a safety plan to ensure you have available support at all times.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have 10 years of experience working with and learning from people of all ages. I pride myself in delivering non-judgmental, empathetic, individualized services to ensure the therapy experience is created for you. I often use humor and seem to have the ability to make people feel like they are talking to a friend...albeit a friend that is very honest, sometimes sarcastic, can challenge you, accept you, fight for you, and sometimes make you mad. It's all part of the process!
