About Angela
Angela works from the view that each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths a person already has and builds on them. In sessions she teaches practical skills and offers steady support while people try out new ways of coping.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changes in thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas help people look at patterns in close relationships.
Angela also uses client-centered principles that keep the person’s goals at the center of work. She includes mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies to help with worry and physical tension. Together these tools are used to address concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting stress, grief, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She invites a collaborative process where clients set goals and learn straightforward skills. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The practice uses a cancelable subscription for sessions.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for relationship worries, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises that target anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with emotions in the moment to repair connection and reduce distress in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use skills learned in session in their usual routines, so practice and real-world testing can happen between meetings.
