I’m Angie, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adult women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, perinatal concerns, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you, drawing from EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and body-based awareness. Together, we’ll make sense of what feels heavy, strengthen your connection with yourself, and help you move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.
