Already have a talk therapist you like? You can keep your talk therapist while you work with Angela.
A Path Toward Renewal
Are you feeling constrained by old patterns? Are you exhausted from maintaining tight control over emotions, avoiding emotionally intense topics, and trying to maintain balance in relationships that drain rather than inspire?
Anxiety, frustration, and disconnection are not your natural state.
Through our work together, you can release these burdens and create a life that feels calm, intentional, and deeply aligned with your values.
Imagine:
Feeling relaxed and self-assured, even in challenging situations.
Rediscovering your creative side through art, writing, and playful exploration.
Setting boundaries that protect your time and energy.
Building relationships that energize and inspire you.

Creativity and Faith in Healing
Healing involves reflection, creativity, and hope. Techniques like simple drawings, visualization, and expressive writing help uncover fresh perspectives.
For those who identify as Christian, incorporating faith into the coaching process provides additional support for navigating life’s challenges with hope and purpose.
Angela’s approach invites you to explore new tools to calm your body, reflect on your needs, and express yourself with clarity and confidence.
Services for Therapists and Ministry Leaders
Consultation
It can be challenging to incorporate EMDR therapy into an existing practice style. Angela offers training and consulting services to help counselors implement and integrate EMDR generally and with a faith-informed focus.
Leading faith-based neurographic drawing
Are you counseling or discipling people who have a hard time taking action or holding ideas in mind? This training offers guidance on how to use neurographic drawing and basic coaching techniques to help people calm down, grasp new concepts, and move toward change.
Workshops
Do you have a group that is serving a difficult population? Understanding the basics of trauma and trauma-informed care can help your organization respond well to mental-health situations and know when to refer people to psychological versus psychiatric care.
