Angela Edward

Hi there, I'm Angela!

I'm Pasifika, body positive, and first generation. I work with elders, women, and Pacific Islanders navigating life transitions, grief, and identity. I bring warmth, cultural understanding, and a deep respect for your story.

My focus

I specialize in working with first-generation persons, women, Pacific Islanders, elders, seniors, geriatrics, grief, loss, caregiving, and life transitions.

My approach

I use Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered practices, and CBT. I'm not here to fix you but to bring value to your life and help you become a better version of yourself. I'm also a death doula with extensive experience supporting the grieving, bereaving, and caregivers.

My communication style

I have a gentle, considerate approach. I ease into courageous conversations and difficult questions in ways that challenge you mildly. If you need someone who honors your feelings while still pushing growth, we're a good match.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love merging gaps, working with humans, and making a positive impact. Working one-on-one with others to enhance their lives is a privilege I take seriously.

My goals for you

I'm a huge fan of measurable, tangible goals. In the beginning, we'll set goals together that track progress. You're the expert of you; I'm the expert in mental health. Let's merge those and tailor your path forward.

Our first session

I'm not going to lie to you, it's a lot of questions. We're going to get through it, though, I promise.
