Hi! I’m Angela. I am a licensed clinical social worker in VA, MD, DC and FL with ten plus years of experience providing counseling services to a wide range of clients with various mental health concerns including sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and chronic illness. I am from Virginia and received my undergraduate degree from Virginia State University and my master’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. My therapy approach is open, compassionate and goal oriented. I meet you where you are and together we can develop attainable goals in a gradual process.

I am passionate about helping others to reach their highest potential in all aspects of their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The therapeutic bond is a key element for a successful therapy outcome, and I strive to make your experience comforting and positive. During our initial session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, as well as delve into family history, relationships, and past/current stressors. I look forward to working together!
