Hi there, I'm Angela!

I’m a therapist with a Master of Social Work from Pennsylvania Western University, where I graduated in 2023. I have been practicing for 5 years, with experience in private practice, outpatient care, and residential treatment. I help clients feel less overwhelmed and more in control of their lives.

My focus

I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I am also experienced in, and passionate about, addiction recovery and helping clients navigate personality disorders. My goal is to help you feel understood while building a clear and realistic path forward.

My approach

My approach is warm, structured, and practical. We will work together to understand what is driving your symptoms, identify patterns that keep repeating, and build real skills you can use outside of session. I focus on insight, accountability, and tools that support lasting change.

My communication style

I communicate with honesty, warmth, and directness. I will not judge you, dismiss you, or talk down to you. My style is supportive but active, which means I will help you name what is happening, understand it clearly, and take steps toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist started during my own recovery, when someone told me, “Your life is worth saving,” and reached out a hand to help. Those words changed the direction of my life and became the foundation of my work. this exprience as well as being a parent of an LGBTQ+ child, I bring lived experience & clinical training to my work.

My goals for you

We will set goals that are clear, realistic, and connected to what you want your life to feel like. I help clients break big changes into manageable steps, track progress, and practice skills between sessions. Therapy with me is focused on movement, not just talking.

Our first session

Our first session is a conversation. You do not need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out. I will ask questions to understand what brought you to therapy, what you have been carrying, and what you want to change. You can come exactly as you are.
