About me

I am a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist in the state of Kansas with over 13 years of experience. I have worked with couples and individuals suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and childhood trauma, to name a few. I have provided EMDR therapy and trauma therapy exclusively in the past 2.5 years specializing in military populations.

My counseling style is experiential in that I work with the client toward healing and management of mental health concerns to improve one's overall health and well-being while maintaining a relationship with the client. My approach is informed by attachment theory and family systems and I use approaches that include Gottman theory, CBT, EMDR, trauma focused counseling and ACT. We get in the boat together and we paddle at your pace.

It takes a safe and caring relationship to foster change. I will share that relationship with you and together we will face the journey of self evolvement and overall health and wellness. If you are ready to start this journey, I am ready to get in the boat with you.

Let's begin!

I trust Angela and I feel like I can depend on her.

Written on Jul 02, 2024 after therapy with Angela for 2 years and 5 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse

Angela is always a very willing listener but also willing to offer ways to try and help or improve your situation. She is very understanding and not overwhelming.

Written on Mar 24, 2024 after therapy with Angela for 2 years and 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues

She is very knowledgeable. I feel respected and comfortable. She was the only therapist I have had that made me feel like a "normal" person. Reminds me that as human beings we sometimes have normal reactions to abnormal situations and that the purpose of therapy is to retrain our thought processes to cope in a more healthy and productive way. Before seeing her, therapy made me feel awkward and like there was something inherently wrong with me.

Angela helps me with tips and suggestions for ways to better handle life’s challenges! She’s great.

Angela listens to me. She explains things that I don’t understand and just overall supports me and really does want me to get through my troubles.

After losing my job due to a global pandemic, I was lost. A decade of grinding it out in kitchens across New York City came to an end., Angela and I started together, About 18 months ago. She helped me reignite my passion for the kitchen and helped me build the boundaries I need in my life to move forward. Angela helped me diagnose trauma that I had never dealt with for years past, reconnect with my sister and build a better relationship with my Wife. My personal and professional life have never been so in tune and I owe it to Angela. I highly recommend her. I just want to say thanks for everything.
