Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri. I have ten years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, acute inpatient, in home, and in schools. I have the most experience working with children, teens, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, major life changes, and trauma/abuse history. I also have experience working with intellectual disabilities, depression, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. LGBTQ+ individuals have been a large part of my experience over the past 3 years.
My passion for the field comes from working with others to help them become the best version of themselves. I always tell my clients that I am walking alongside them in their journey-not leading the way. I firmly believe that we are all the experts on ourselves and I work hard to meet clients where they are on their own journey.
My style could be described as caring and validating, with a holistic approach. I am warm, supportive, and down to earth. I enjoy sharing mindfulness skills and other calming strategies as well as communication skills. I believe in practicing skills and promoting confidence in individuals. I believe that gaining positive views of self, practicing skills, and working through any sort of trauma takes time to heal and I want to be able to help you in any way that I can.
I check and respond to messages regularly during the week and will respond as quickly as possible! On the weekends, I do take the time for my family and will not respond to messages from Friday at 4 pm until Monday morning.

Angela is very good at pinpointing my issues. I am very self aware, but she has a way of pulling things out that I have minimized in order to just get through the day. She is fantastic.

Angela is amazing, she is a great listener & she actually understands what I am trying to say. If she doesn't understand, then she will ask to get a better understanding so she can help in the best way. Angela wanted to find out the history & background to why I was looking for counseling. And then asked what I wanted to focus on in counseling so it could be the most effective for me.
Angela also reaches out to check on me if it's been a little while since she's heard from me. Angela has been my saving grace! I had almost given up on the idea of finding a counselor that could help me.
