Hi! I'm Angela,

Hi, I’m Angela. I’m a licensed therapist with a background in social work and over 25 years of experience supporting people through complex, often deeply personal challenges. I work with folks recovering from high-demand religions or organizations, navigating painful relationships, or feeling burned out from caregiving roles or high-stress professions.

My style is collaborative, steady, and curious. My clients are looking for a therapist who can hold space for complexity, growth, and sometimes uncertainty, and that’s exactly what I aim to provide. I truly love this work and feel honored every day to witness people reclaiming their voice, self-trust, and sense of possibility.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, hiking, walking (and the occasional very slow jog), traveling, and spending time with my dog (who believes he’s human) and my cat (who insists he’s a dog). I grew up in Iowa and have also lived in Ethiopia and the Los Angeles area. Over the years, I’ve worked in hospitals, clinics, restaurants, schools, nonprofits, cornfields, and a nursing home as a CNA. I’ve left a high-demand religious organization and reclaimed a some things along the way, including my sense of self, humor, and connection. I was once voted “weirdest dresser,” but these days I’m more often described as kind, honest, and occasionally funny.

Proven methods that work by cultivating awareness, presence and self compassion so you can find balance, clarity, and a deeper sense of well-being.

Mindful Hypnotherapy

This approach helps you access a calm, focused state where positive change can take root. Deepen self-awareness, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and reclaim your strength.

My methods

As a person-centered therapist, my approach is warm, flexible, and entirely focused on your goals. I integrate trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based approaches such as Mindful Hypnotherapy, Coherence Therapy, and parts work to explore how symptoms make sense in the context of past experiences, allowing old emotional learning to update and resolve.
