Welcome to my space of support and empowerment! I'm Angela, a licensed professional counselor based in Pennsylvania with over 11 years of experience. My passion lies in assisting women in mid-life looking for support in the areas of career counseling, self-esteem, and women's issues.
Life is a journey marked by various phases, and I help women navigate the complexities that arise during critical life transitions. I am here to support you if you find yourself grappling with burnout, chronic stress, or low self-esteem.
I am best suited to work with clients that are interested in receiving support in the following areas:
* career exploration and discernment
* career changes or loss
* exploring a second career or side gig
* increasing self-esteem
* managing menopause and mid-life concerns
* parenting young adults
* planning for and redefining the empty nest period
* planning for retirement
* navigating toxic workplace environments
In our sessions, we embark on a journey together to explore what isn't working in your life and work towards guiding you back to a place of balance. I believe in a holistic approach that addresses the interconnected needs of your mind, body, and spirit. By fostering a collaborative and supportive relationship, we will work towards creating positive changes in various aspects of your life.
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, accepting, calm, and compassionate space. This environment is designed to empower you to share your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
You can expect to feel heard and validated in session and to spend some time outside of our sessions working on therapeutic techniques that will help you reach your goals. I will not give you more work to do outside of the session than you can handle, but it is important to know that you will see changes and reach your goals faster if you can spend a few minutes outside of the session working on relevant techniques.
I want you to know that you have control over what you want to talk about and the goals you want to focus on. I will ask questions to try to understand your history and patterns, but you do not have to discuss any area of your life that you are not fully ready to share with me. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, build resilience, and find a renewed sense of well-being.
Details about my training: I have earned an MS in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University and a BS in Organization Psychology from Geneva College. All professional counselors are required to continue their education annually. I consistently exceed the Pennsylvania requirement for continuing education because I value professional development and delving deeper into therapeutic modalities ultimately benefits you and your therapeutic journey. I have received specialized training in the following areas:
* career preparation and development
* techniques designed to increase self-esteem and self-worth
* expressive arts therapy
* mindfulness-based stress reduction
* self-compassion therapy
* nutrition for mental health
If you are ready to take the next step towards positive change and improved well-being, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to navigate life's transitions. Your journey to a more balanced and fulfilling life begins here.

Fabulous therapist. Very compassionate and helps me feel validated and offers creative approaches and insight into my current stressors with family. I would absolutely recommend her to others.
