Great to meet you!

Hi I'm Angela I'm a licensed social worker providing telehealth services in multiple states. I studied and graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and worked with children, adults, and families in a variety of settings for over 15 years.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy varies based on each person's needs. I most frequently use combined treatment approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relaxation and Creative therapies to develop skills to feel better with new perspectives on life. Also, Strengths Focused Approach is regular practice in my approach helping clients navigate challenging life transition.

What you can expect from our first session

Our first session together is meant for us to meet and determine how I can help and support you. I'll ask questions to better understand your reason for seeking support. Afterwards, our sessions will be spent creating a therapeutic relationship. I will help and guide you gain greater insight, self awareness and confidence as you explore your experiences, relationships and reach your goals.

I look forward to the opportunity to joining you in your journey of healing and transformation!
