About me

As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals as they navigate life’s complexities with courage and grace. My practice is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other integrative therapeutic modalities.
I work with adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for helping clients build self-esteem, strengthen communication skills, and manage social anxiety in ways that foster genuine connection and confidence.
In our work together, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strengths. My approach honors each person’s unique journey and may include faith-based support for those who desire it. I also have extensive experience working with couples, adults and caregivers, helping them find balance, renewal, and emotional healing through life’s changing seasons.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process one that empowers you to cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose. Together, we’ll explore practical tools and mindful strategies to nurture personal growth, improve relationships, and create meaningful change from a place of understanding and hope.

Angie is very patient with me as I struggle to concisely describe the strange range of emotions that I go through when my anxiety is high.
