I'm Angela.

I’m a therapist, mother, partner, sister, friend, community member, artist, and lifelong music lover and literary nerd. Before doing this work, I spent years as a DJ and wore many hats across the music and hospitality industries. Those experiences continue to shape how I listen, connect, and understand people and the stories they carry.

I come from a large, multi-ethnic blended family and know firsthand that relationships can be both beautiful and complicated. Growing up around addiction, trauma, resilience, and healing, alongside my own experiences with recovery, identity, and sexuality, has given me a deeper understanding of how our histories shape who we are and how we connect with the people we love. Those experiences ultimately led me to this work and continue to inform my commitment to approaching therapy with curiosity, compassion, cultural humility, and a strong social justice lens.

When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, cooking for the people I love, digging for records, reading a book, finding inspiration through art, or out dancing. I believe healing happens through authentic relationships, self-understanding, and creating a space where people feel seen, accepted, and empowered to grow.

You don’t have to keep showing up the same way just because it’s what you’ve always done. 

Together, we’ll get curious about the patterns that once helped you survive, the stories you’ve carried, and the ways they’ve shaped your relationship with yourself, the people you love, your body, your sexuality, and the life you’re building.

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel safe enough to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and recognize that you may have more choice than you realize. Insight matters, but it isn’t the destination. I want you to leave therapy feeling more grounded, more connected, and better able to make choices that reflect who you are and what you want for your life.

I don’t believe the hardest parts of our stories define us. I hope to offer a space where you can show up fully, explore what matters most, and create relationships and a life that feel more honest, connected, and meaningful.
