Hi, I’m Angela. I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping individuals cope with the everyday stressors of life, reaching their full potential and seeing themselves in a new light. I have provided therapy to individuals from children to the elderly. I also have experience providing therapy to adults with an Intellectual Disability and have used modified treatment strategies to work effectively with that population. I use a strength based approach and encourage you to talk about whatever it is you would like to work on to set the pace for your sessions and develop your treatment goals. Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you are making the right decision. You deserve a safe space to express yourself, reflect, heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can identify and overcome any barriers that you feel are holding you back. We can work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your initial therapy session, you can expect a warm and confidential environment where you're encouraged to share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I first talk about the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and your goals for therapy. Be prepared to provide some background information, such as your personal history and current challenges. I may also ask questions to better understand your situation and assess your needs. Approaching the first session with openness and a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process sets the foundation for a productive and supportive therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy talking with people and will use a person centered approach while working with you on your goals. I also like to focus on solutions and provide a safe space for you to process your feelings and talk about issues that may be going on in your life. I am looking forward to working with you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Individuals struggling with the everyday stressors, work burnout, difficulty with peer relations, stress and anxiety. Neurodiverse individuals

VirtualMy treatment methods
Eclectic
I utilize different approaches such as dialectical and cognitive behavioral interventions, and skills for emotional regulation specifically for those with cognitive challenges. We can work together using EMDR for those that may benefit from bilateral stimulation to process thoughts and memories that are causing distress and narrative techniques to empower you to give meaning to your own unique story. When first meeting, I use motivational interviewing which is an approach that helps with identifying any concerns, establishing goals and also with discussing expectations and your motivation to engage in therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT incorporates mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to promote balance and stability. I also use a modified DBT for people with cognitive impairment to help individuals replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier responses to stress and emotional challenges.
Narrative
Narrative therapy helps individuals reframe their life stories by separating themselves from their problems. I emphasize the idea that people are not defined by their struggles but rather have the power to shape their own narratives by guiding individuals in identifying dominant, unhelpful stories and constructing new, more empowering perspectives.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. It involves guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, while the individual recalls distressing experiences in a safe setting. This process helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and negative impact.
