About Angela
Her background includes work with depression, motivation and addiction-related concerns, and career-related stress. She aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they think and feel. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than jargon, with short-term goals people can use between meetings.
Angela uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. She also teaches simple mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people move toward goals when they feel stuck.
Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then suggests tools and small changes to try. Many people appreciate having concrete actions to work on between sessions and a plan to track progress.
Evening and weekend availability is part of how she tries to fit counseling into busy lives. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
