In your first session with me, you can expect a friendly and supportive environment where we can begin to explore your mental health needs. We’ll start with an in-depth discussion about your current concerns, medical history, and any relevant background information. This helps me understand your unique situation and how it may be impacting your well-being. I’ll also gather information through assessments to get a clearer picture of your symptoms and experiences. Together, we’ll talk about your goals for treatment and any questions you may have regarding medications or other therapeutic options. Throughout the session, I prioritize open communication, so please feel free to express any concerns or ask questions. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported as we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. By the end of our session, we’ll have a solid foundation to move forward in your care. I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been receiving psychiatric mental health care from Angela for a while now (since early 2022) and I sure am grateful for that! From the very first appointment, I felt heard, supported, and understood without judgement. She has a calm, compassionate presence that makes it easier to navigate uncomfortable conversations and she approaches treatment in a way that’s both thoughtful and collaborative. Angela genuinely cares, always takes the time to listen, and consistently follows best practices—even using a proactive/preventative mindset rather than wait to fail. I’ve felt progress under their care, and hope to continue receiving support in the long term future! Highly recommend!
