Angela provides the following services:
Adult Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy
Premarital and Couples Counseling
Group Therapy
Peer Consultation
Angela has experienced that no two people are alike and yet we each need the same thing; to have a safe and secure connection with another person. Often it is within ourselves that healing has to occur first before that connection can happen with another person. Angela focuses on that individual healing process to achieve emotional and psychological health, which results in transformed behaviors and relationships. Her style is both warm and engaging, as well as challenging and direct. Angela attunes to her clients’ needs and provides empathy while addressing difficult situations. Through the use of therapeutic treatment strategies, such as Psychodynamic, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Prepare/Enrich for couples, Angela can help her clients meet their goals. Christian Counseling is available upon request.
Angela addresses the following clinical counseling issues:
Anxiety, Depression, Developmental trauma and Attachment trauma, Complex PTSD, Dissociation, Relational stress, Domestic abuse, Life Adjustments and Grief, Codependency/Addiction Recovery and Narcissistic Abuse and Gaslighting
Background (Education & Experience)
Angela is a graduate of Roosevelt University in the Clinical Professional Psychology program, having received her Master of Arts degree. While she was in graduate school, she volunteered in case management for a postpartum care nonprofit and a community mental health center. Angela later interned at a local community mental health center and then became an employee for them while earning her clinical counseling licensure. She was part of a team of clinicians who provided individual and group counseling to those with chronic mental health problems. This experience helps her assess if other services or a higher level of care is recommended for a client. Angela also has prior work experience in private and corporate finance and human resources departments, which can be valuable in relating further with her clients’ stressors.
