“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
C.G. Jung

Hey, I’m Angela! (She/Her). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in working with individuals who struggle with C-PTSD, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Interpersonal relationships.

I want to help you get at the root of your struggles so that you can enjoy your life, instead of coping through it. You'll discover why life has gone the way it’s gone, integrate all the parts of yourself that you may hesitate to accept, and solidify new ways of approaching yourself and your relationships.

Let’s work together if:

  • You’ve been called “self-aware” but still feel stuck

  • Your inner monologue is full of self-blame, shame, and guilt

  • You’re always on edge and rarely feel calm and safe

  • You never feel like you’re good enough and struggle to feel like you belong

  • You have a hard time opening up and doubt that others will be there for you

  • It feels like your past is running your life

  • You people please and try to be perfect even when you know it’s not what you want to do

With the goal to feel:

  • Calm: Feel grounded in the face of whatever life throws at you. Enjoy internal peace.

  • Courageous and confident: Trust yourself again. Know that you’re capable of facing things in life you previously avoided and feared.

  • Connected: Reconnect to yourself and others. No longer feel deeply lonely and isolated.

  • Compassionate: Offer yourself and others warmth and kindness. Welcome all parts of yourself and others.

  • Creative: Be able to explore and notice more options and potential in your life rather than feeling limited and small.

  • Clear: See yourself and others clearly without the past taking over.

  • Curious: Approach yours and others’ reactions to life with curiosity. Seek to understand without shutting down.
