Angie is really wonderful and gives me great perspective and suggestions. It’s so nice to talk to her and feel heard without judgement.

I've been meeting with Angie for 6 months now and have nothing bad to say. Everyone has different needs and wants when it comes to their mental health journey and Angie knows that. The first thing she wanted to know was what was and wasn't helpful in the past and we started with what did help. Angie goes above and beyond to customize how we help me heal and make progress. She is open, honest, upfront, knowledgable, professional, friendly, and respectable. I'm genuinely and truly grateful for all she has done for me and am relieved to have her as a therapist to support me and help me achieve my personal goals in the future.

I can't recommend Angie enough. She listens with an extremely open mind and without judgment. She asks very thought provoking questions that lead to more discovery of otter topics of interest.

I love Angie! She never invalidates your issues and gives constructive resources and feedback. I have had issues with feeling comfortable with previous counselors, but she had really, really helped me be more open and honest. I couldn’t recommend her more!
