Couples therapists in Ellicott City, MD

I believe in the power of language, culture, and genuine connection to make therapy work. As an LCSW-C fluent in English and Yoruba, I bring both clinical depth and cultural understanding to my practice — creating space for clients from diverse backgrounds to feel truly seen and heard without having to translate themselves first.

Since 2016, I've worked across community mental health, schools, residential settings, and partial hospitalization programs, supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, OCD, domestic violence, and life transitions. I consider myself an agent of hope — helping clients build resilience, find healing, and rewrite the narratives of their lives one session at a time.

I'm trained at the University of Maryland and take a holistic approach — considering how physical health, relationships, culture, community, and spirituality shape each person's well-being.

Welcome! I’m Angelique, and it is a privilege to support you in your healing. I believe therapy is about uncovering the true self you were always meant to be. To better serve my clients, I completed a rigorous one-year trauma-focused fellowship with the Veterans Administration, working in an interdisciplinary team for rural and underserved areas. This gave me specialized, hands-on experience in advanced trauma modalities.

I have had a wide range of experiences with all developmental stages. I help create a warm and accepting space where clients feel safe and supported. I draw from many years of experience and continue to enjoy learning new ways of helping individuals.

As a licensed clinical professional counselor, I strongly believe in prioritizing yourself and mental health. I've been practicing for the past 8 years working with a variety of clients in all different ages and backgrounds, but within most of my years in practice, I focus on adults in their 20s-40s who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family issues, and boundaries.

Are you feeling anxious, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of where you belong in this complex world? Struggling to balance work and personal life? Maybe you’re navigating grief, a major life change, or carrying a sense of disconnection from yourself and those around you. You may also be trying to understand which parts of you feel genuinely your own and which have been shaped by family, culture, expectations, or experiences you have carried for a long time. If so, you don’t have to go through it alone.

With over a decade of clinical experience and backgrounds in International Disaster Psychology and Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, I bring a broad understanding of how our inner lives are shaped by more than symptoms alone. I am especially interested in the intersections of identity, culture, relationships, life experiences, and the larger environments we move through.

Therapy with me is warm, curious, and conversational. I want you to feel like you can bring your whole self into the room, including the parts that feel complicated, contradictory, difficult to name, or still in the process of becoming. Whether you are exploring cultural, racial, ethnic, spiritual, professional, relational, or personal parts of yourself, we can make space for your history while helping you understand who you are now and what you want your life to look like moving forward.
