Angela has been a wonderful help for me over the past 6 or 7 months. She listens, validates feelings, and responds gently and with reason. I have felt much happier and more confident since working with Angela and I can't thank her enough for her support!

I had given up on talk therapy before meeting Angela. I feel blessed that I read her bio and had the courage to give talk therapy another try. She is practiced in the art of listening. She is compassionate and knowledgeable. She respects me and honors my unique experiences. Thank you, Angela, for helping me to heal.
