Integrative Psychotherapy 

Angela's person-centered approach to mental health care is dynamic and integrative.  Angela believes that the core of counseling is built on a solid foundation consisting of a trusting, safe, and authentic relationship with your therapist. She believes in treating the entire person, not just a diagnosis; therefore, she incorporates nutrition coaching, meditation practice, and physical movement as part of treatment planning.  
Angela also draws from Person-Centered Theory, Family Systems Theories, Humanistic-Existentialism, and Transpersonal Theories.
Angela's clients learn mindfulness and meditation, holistic self-care, and self-advocacy skills, and there remains a consistent focus on making meaning, developing a life worth living, and learning to transcend suffering.

Her own journey with wellness involved understanding the impact of these factors on autoimmune diseases, as she was diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions in the last 10 years. Her desire to understand natural healing led to extensive training, research, and understanding in the role of nutrition and movement in our lives. Additionally, Angela is a former competitor and spends her free time lifting weights, running, cycling, and practicing a structured approach to eating so her body can function at an optimal level. She brings all of her experience and training to her practice and works collaboratively with you to develop a plan tailored to your level of understanding, flexibility, and overall goals.
