If you have been carrying something heavy, whether it is anxiety, grief, a substance use struggle, or the weight of a relationship that has felt unsafe, you deserve a space where you can set it down without judgment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Walden University and years of experience in trauma, domestic violence, mental health, and substance use. I am genuinely warm, open-minded, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you reconnect with the strengths you already have, and build practical tools for real and lasting change. Whoever you are and wherever you are starting from, you are welcome here.
Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.
My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.
Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.
Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.
You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.
I have been working as a therapist for almost 5 years now and I believe having a safe space to process life in what feels like a chaotic world is important! I have worked with both adults and kids over the years with a focus on trauma. I also work to support with relationships, boundaries and building self confidence while struggling with anxiety and depression.
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona
My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.
Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.
This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!
Life is full of transitions, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, a major life change, or rebuilding after incarceration, my goal is to provide compassionate, judgment-free care that meets you where you are. I believe treatment should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms. Together we’ll create a plan that supports your mental wellness while helping you build the life you want, with medication management, therapy, and practical resources tailored to your needs.
