Angie is the second therapist I've ever had. The first one dismissed me and made me feel like I was imagining my issues. Angie, however, helped me tap into my problems and get to the core of it all. I've made so many improvements since starting sessions with her. She funny too!

Only have been seeing Angela for a few weeks but she has been wonderful to talk to and makes me feel heard while also managing to call me when I need it. As well as being incredibly accommodating to my strange schedule. All done with a great sense of humor.

Meeting with Angela has truly been life changing for me. I recently moved to a new city being a newly graduated student starting a new work life. It has been really hard for me to adjust to the new environment before I met Angela. I had constant anxiety and frustration that affected my work and personal life. Angela was able to guide me to overcome these negative factors in my life with clear concrete steps on what to do. She always acknowledged my feelings and thoughts and gave feedbacks on who I truly am. I feel so much more confident and consistent with my growth now.

Angela is not only a warm hearted and caring therapist, but she’s got a little humor to keep you on your toes, especially during those tough times! Angela is has a unique and profound way of breaking things down so that they don’t seem so scary/so impossible. Every time I meet with Angela, my spirits are high and I am left with tools to keep moving forward and I also know she is there if I need to reach out for extra support. She’s the best!!
