Hello! My name is Angela. I am a licensed counselor who has practiced for almost 18 years. I have worked with children, families, couples and individuals. My primary focus of counseling has been families with children in foster care, but that is not my entire practice. I have helped people with concerns such as grief, trauma, addiction, life stress, parenting, depression, anxiety and abandonment. I am also a Certified Family Development specialist and a court approved mediator.
I believe that while we cannot control all the circumstances of our lives, we can control the way we react to those circumstances. While it's not easy, it is possible to have peace in the midst of chaos. My counseling style is relaxed and engaging, and technique depends on the issue at hand. My goal is to help provide insight so together we can create a healthier, more positive mindset, which results in healthier behaviors.
Thank you so much for your consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
