Approach to Therapy

Angela’s work is anchored in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic training — an approach that takes seriously the idea that lasting change requires more than managing symptoms. It requires understanding. She helps clients examine the patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped them, so they can move forward with clarity and intention rather than simply coping. At the same time, Angela draws fluidly from a range of complementary approaches, adapting her method to what each individual actually needs:

• Trauma-informed treatment — recognizing and carefully addressing the ways past experiences live in the present
• Mindfulness — cultivating present-moment awareness as a foundation for emotional regulation
• Play therapy — meeting younger clients and families through the language most natural to them
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) — practical tools for shifting thought patterns and behaviors when the moment calls for it

Psychotherapy, in Angela’s view, is a collaborative and creative process. It can be brief or extensive — determined entirely by the client’s goals and the complexity of what they are navigating.
“What distinguishes me from other mental health professionals is my ability to help people feel deeply understood.”

Relationships as a Path to Growth

Central to Angela’s philosophy is the belief that relationships — with ourselves, our families, and our communities — are both the source of our deepest struggles and the medium through which we heal. She works with individuals and families to reduce conflict, deepen connection, and build the kind of generative relationships that support a full and meaningful life.

Her ability to hold complexity — to see beauty and possibility alongside difficulty and loss — is what clients consistently describe as transformative. Angela helps people expand their capacity to solve problems, mourn what needs to be mourned, and move through life with greater ease and purpose.
