About Me
Hello everyone! My name is Angie and I am a trauma therapist, EMDR provider, and trained yoga teacher. I approach each person with empathy and openness to understand how we can create meaningful connection and healing together. My journey as a therapist includes work with complex trauma and sexual abuse in outpatient and intensive care settings, grief counseling through hospice work, and chronic illness/public health therapy while serving in the Peace Corps in Uganda. My last several years of clinical practice have focused on attachment wounds, abandonment, and shame in both private practice and substance abuse treatment settings. As a therapist, I believe healing is possible through connection with your body, emotions, and thoughts. I want to gently bring the body into therapy and I seek to be a companion in the process of sifting through your lived experience to discover your authentic voice. Together, we will use somatic interventions and yoga, emotionally focused work, inner child work, and brain-based approaches like EMDR to reclaim the chapters of your life where difficult experiences stole your sense of who you are. I work to nurture growth, healing, and you with overcoming loneliness. I find it essential to create an atmosphere of bravery and acceptance in any therapeutic relationship. I utilize sex-positive counseling practices, am an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community in the therapy dynamic, and want to build understanding about how your experiences, relationships, and culture have impacted your life.
