So understanding and very helpful for all aspects. I’m very grateful to have been paired with Angela as my therapist

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.

Angela is the best therapist I have ever worked with. She actively listens and proves guidance toward healing. She makes care more individualized and takes the times to apply concepts that work for you. She is great at connecting what I’m feeling to my past. I highly suggest working with her for your healing journey!

Angela is truly the best she listens. She takes what I say and make sure that I have something to take away from my journal entries or from our meetings so I can continue to put into practice, but I need to do to feel better.
