I am an LPCC with a masters in clinical mental health counseling. I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and started my EMDR journey in 2020. I have experience with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. My work entails exploring all aspects of a client’s well-being to ensure all needs can realistically be met with gradual growth towards wants and maintenance of the two.
Clients can anticipate an overview of informed consent, practice policies, explore their needs of therapy, determine therapeutic fit, treatment plan, and goal collaboration. Treatment is scheduled weekly, same ongoing day and time, to improve consistency and to ensure conducive treatment. Weekly treatment is to aid in the process of therapeutic alliance, psychoeducation, reduce symptoms, skill development, and coping implementation.
I have undergraduate and graduate experience with utilizing evidenced based approaches along with spiritual components. A part from Christianity, other religious and spiritual beliefs are invited into the space to connect the individual with a source of strength and comfort.
My primary focus is working with young adults and adults who have grief, trauma, and struggle with managing their beliefs, identity, and expectations. Areas often explored are communication, boundaries, losses, and processing traumatic events small or big.

I am currently EMDR trained with six years of experience. The use of EMDR resourcing and BLS is to install calm and safety. The goal is to reduce disturbances with images, sensations, thoughts, and emotions.
I have been practicing CBT for seven years. This helps understand the connections between thoughts, emotions and feelings. CBT allows for disconnection with the negative and create adaptive mindset.
I have utilized existential therapy for seven years with clients who want to understand a purpose and explore their freedom. Often times this approach provides insight to choices that may have been removed during life circumstances.
MI is a great model to help clients understand boundaries, decisions, and approach ambiguity from the perspective of a guiding tool. MI can focus on resistance and create effective power of behavioral change.

I love that Angela doesn't just agree with whatever you say and will ask you questions that dig deeper to what you've said. But she phrases the questions to where you have to really answer those questions and does not sway your opinion. She really tries to understand and find the root of the cause instead of telling you what it is. It really allows you to get closer to yourself and understand what you're feeling.

Angela is very sharp, able to quickly & easily identify what I need, even when I don't have the words. I am grateful for her very structured approach, and yet, her ability to flow with my thought process is a relief. She is talented at interpreting vague expressions, then quickly addressing them with education, guidance or healing mechanisms. I leave our sessions feeling like we accomplished something.

Angela is wise beyond her years. Shes intelligent, perceptive, solution oriented; she's very good in her field and feel extremely grateful to have her as my therapist.
