Imagine going to an amusement park and seeing all the joy and happiness around you but not being able to enjoy it yourself. You can smell the tantalizing smells and hear the contagious laughter. You long for the freedom to interact with those around you or at least be able to smile and mean it, yet there's something blocking that freedom. What is it? Is it depression? Is it severe anxiety? Is it overwhelming grief? Is it guilt and shame that hangs on you like an old worn out coat? Is it consuming fear that won't allow you to step into who you truly are and keeps you bound behind a frail representation of You. What can you do when your perception is woven with lies, fear, brokenness and pain? Is there a way to break free of your pain, fear, and beliefs that you are nothing more than your behaviors or nothing more than your brokenness? ABSOLUTELY! You have so much to offer and so much to give! It may be underneath some depression, or some anxiety, or some guilt and shame, or possibly some fear but I believe there is HOPE and there is FREEDOM for you! Some of us have went through tremendous pain, some have experienced immense trauma, and some just have feelings that seem to be uncontrollable and we may not even know why. I believe we are in this together and finding someone that we can open up to and relate to can be an incredible healing experience for both people. I use a faith based approach with those that are open to that form of therapy. If you prefer a different modality then I use cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach to counseling. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and beginning a counseling relationship where we can both grow and learn from each other.

Angela is kind and very attentive to my questions. She takes notes and refers back to them in the follow-up sessions. I feel that she listens very well and addresses all of the concerns and points that I bring up as well as offer guidance and direction to where I need to be heading on my healing Journey. Thank you Angela!

Great therapist and counselor.

Angela is so easy to talk to right from the start. Therapy has always been hard for me because I haven't connected to my therapist in a way that made me comfortable enough to share everything on my mind. But Angela has a way of making herself feel like your friend from there very first session. Being able to message her during the week was very helpful, too. That way I could let her know exactly how I was feeling during a low and then she would get back to me with a bit of encouragement and understanding in a message and then we could discuss the situation during our next session even if I was feeling better by then. This helped me make the best use of my sessions, because if I was feeling good the day that the session was on I probably wouldn't have even brought up the bad day, but Angela would so that we could really address the issue.
I am doing so much better than I was when I started therapy earlier this year and I am so grateful to Angela and betterhelp for giving me the tools I needed to face the chaos in my life.
