More about Angela

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMFT

I am a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist in the state of Kansas with over 13 years of experience. I have worked with couples and individuals suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and childhood trauma, to name a few. I have provided EMDR therapy and trauma therapy exclusively in the past 2.5 years specializing in military populations.

My counseling style is experiential in that I work with the client toward healing and management of mental health concerns to improve one's overall health and well-being while maintaining a relationship with the client. My approach is informed by attachment theory and family systems and I use approaches that include Gottman theory, CBT, EMDR, trauma focused counseling and ACT. We get in the boat together and we paddle at your pace.

It takes a safe and caring relationship to foster change. I will share that relationship with you and together we will face the journey of self evolvement and overall health and wellness. If you are ready to start this journey, I am ready to get in the boat with you.

Let's begin!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

My sessions with Angela were so helpful! Right from the start I could tell we’d be a great fit. She tells me what I need yet is a great listener and supplied the tools I needed in order to overcome and begin healing in certain areas of my life. I highly recommend Angela…she is passionate about her work, and truly wants to see her clients in a better place emotionally and physically!

Angela listens to me. She explains things that I don’t understand and just overall supports me and really does want me to get through my troubles.

Reviewed March 2023

She is very knowledgeable. I feel respected and comfortable. She was the only therapist I have had that made me feel like a "normal" person. Reminds me that as human beings we sometimes have normal reactions to abnormal situations and that the purpose of therapy is to retrain our thought processes to cope in a more healthy and productive way. Before seeing her, therapy made me feel awkward and like there was something inherently wrong with me.

After losing my job due to a global pandemic, I was lost. A decade of grinding it out in kitchens across New York City came to an end., Angela and I started together, About 18 months ago. She helped me reignite my passion for the kitchen and helped me build the boundaries I need in my life to move forward. Angela helped me diagnose trauma that I had never dealt with for years past, reconnect with my sister and build a better relationship with my Wife. My personal and professional life have never been so in tune and I owe it to Angela. I highly recommend her. I just want to say thanks for everything.

I have been seeing Angela for a couple months now and she has helped me on how to control and express my feelings instead of keeping it all to myself and in an egg shell I feel more open and I can express how I feel without lashing out to my boyfriend and other family and friends. Even with the short time we have had I feel 10x better than my first day.

Angela is great. She is so easy to get along with. She shares personal experiences that are helpful. Sometimes I wish she would listen a little more. I feel cut off when she talks a lot. Overall, Angela is a great person and counselor. She gives great tips on personal improvements that are practical and helpful.

Reviewed May 2022

I loved every discussion I had with Angela. Some days, I leaned on her expertise and the knowledge that there were names for the things my husband and I were experiencing. She could explain how other people made it through problems like ours. Other days, she sounded outraged over things I had to go through. loved that. And always she was kind and understanding. After several months, I feel able to go on without therapy, but if I am in a weak place again, I know I will wish for Angela. If you need help, she will be there. I am so thankful.

Angela has been extremely helpful in my mental health journey and recovery from a bout of depression. She’s helped me create, build and reinforce useful strategies to help me grow as a person. She’s professional yet cordial at the same time and utilizes a variety of methods in our sessions to assess and address each of your concerns. I’ve appreciated the messages of encouragement outside of formal sessions and the worksheets provided. Can’t thank Angela and the BetterHelp platform for everything its helped me accomplish. If you are still reading this and have any mental health concerns please give yourself the gift and pleasure of becoming a better version of yourself.

Angela has been incredibly helpful in providing insight into myself and the relationships around me. She has guided me towards tools I need to move forward in my own life, but personally and interpersonal. She knew when to provide constructive honesty, but also knew when to simply get a conversation started and then encourage me to come to my own conclusion. Angela was always willing to learn herself if it meant helping understand a situation, and I am grateful I was able to work with her.
