LISW, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, I’m Angie, an independently licensed social worker and chemical dependency counselor with a passion for helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I specialize in trauma-focused care using EMDR, CBT, and DBT to support clients in building healthier relationships with themselves and others. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet each person’s unique needs on their journey toward lasting change.
In our first session, we’ll begin by reviewing your intake paperwork and discussing your goals for therapy. I’ll walk you through a biopsychosocial assessment, which just means we’ll explore different areas of your life—like your emotional, physical, and social well-being—to get a full picture of what you’re experiencing. This helps me tailor your treatment to fit you. Since sessions are held via secure telehealth, you can join from the comfort of your own space. I’ll also make sure you feel confident using the platform and answer any questions you have. Most importantly, we’ll move at your pace and start building the foundation for a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.
What makes me unique as a therapist is my ability to blend clinical expertise with genuine, compassionate connection. I bring a trauma-informed lens to every session, using EMDR, CBT, and DBT in a way that feels deeply personalized—not one-size-fits-all. I understand what it’s like to carry emotional wounds while trying to keep everything together, and I create a space where clients feel seen, safe, and empowered to heal at their own pace. My background as both a social worker and chemical dependency counselor also allows me to support the whole person—not just the symptoms.
If you’ve experienced trauma and find yourself stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown, you’re not alone — and healing is possible. I’m Angie, a trauma therapist specializing in EMDR, and I help women and teens safely process painful memories so they no longer have to carry the weight of the past. Together, we’ll work to reduce emotional triggers, rebuild self-trust, and help you reconnect with the version of you that feels whole, grounded, and empowered.
In my therapy practice, I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. By guiding them through bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories, clients are able to reduce emotional intensity and shift negative beliefs. I've seen powerful breakthroughs as clients gain clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.
In my therapy practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that influence their emotions and behaviors. Through structured techniques, clients learn to reframe negative thinking and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT empowers individuals to make lasting changes by building awareness and practical skills for everyday life.
