LMFT, 8 years of experience
Hi there, I am Angela. I have 5 years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist. I believe we all struggle at times and need help on our journey to a better quality of life. I help clients build self-efficacy and develop a healthier sense of self. I help motivate, encourage and empower clients to initiate change and establish a balanced life-style. We'll work together in exploring factors contributing to stress, depression and anxiety.
After our initial meeting, we establish goals and steps to initiate change. We will explore and identify core values and how to increase satisfaction of values in daily life. I will integrate mindfulness techniques to increase self awareness. I also teach clients how to reframe thoughts.
During our sessions, I will provide clients with psycho-education to create insight and awareness. I challenge thoughts and use self-monitoring to evaluate progress. I will teach member to identify feelings and physical cues to emotions. We will explore biological, sociological and psychological factors contributing to unhealthy behavior. I approach therapy with evidence based interventions from CBT and DBT with a nonjudgemental perspective.
I enjoy building strong rapport with clients to allow space for self-exploration and feedback. I encourage, empower and support clients during difficult transitions and increase utilization of coping tools.
