I've been working with Angela for over a year now, and I feel so grateful to have been matched with such an extraordinary, open, patient and loving therapist. She has been such an important part of my life and has been here with me along side many of the journeys, changes and transitions in my life. I would have never found such a secure therapy relationship if it wasn't for the diversity of therapists available on betterhelp - I feel truly matched with the right person with the right experience and energy to do the work.

Angela gets me. That’s something I’ve never truly experienced in a therapist. It makes a world of difference. She’s incredibly skilled at recognizing, and helping me recognize, when I’ve caught myself in patterns of negative self-talk or black and white thinking. I’m grateful for Angela’s assistance.

Angela is great. When I first started I was in a very deep dark place and she helped me open up and see things in a different perspective as well as understand myself better. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made because of her support and help. Highly recommend.
