Meet Angela

I take a client-centered, strength-based approach to working with clients. I have been working as a mental health clinician for nearly two decades. I work individually with adults, including parents seeking support with parenting challenges, family conflict, and relationship concerns. My practice is focused on individual therapy rather than couples or family therapy. I draw from a variety of approaches but tend heavily toward evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I incorporate useful aspects from several research-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe that each person holds the key to unlocking their own highest potential. When clients are ready to step on to the path of healing, I am ready to walk with them on the journey.
