Hello beautiful soul! :) Baring your soul to a total stranger can feel so strange when you don't know what to expect or how to find a good fit just based on a few paragraphs and a photo.

I promise to be warm, compassionate, accepting, nonjudgmental, and honest with you every step of the way. I would be honored to be your safe space while we navigate life's toughest challenges together. My style is very interactive and I aim to prioritize your comfort & clarity.

Combining the depth of psychology with the practicality of life coaching, my approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution-focused, with the aim to increase the confidence and skill you need to improve the quality of your life and relationships.
Many high-performers know they are capable of achieving more but feel stuck at times. Do you feel that despite having a lot of things together, something is missing that is holding you back? The clients I work with have typically achieved success in many aspects of life, but they struggle in others. When facing challenges that seem insurmountable, we all can benefit from expert guidance and counseling. As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of education and experience, I empower high-achieving professionals, athletes, and couples to reach their goals and create the changes in life they most desire.

If you are feeling anxious, or struggling to know and express how you feel, therapy is a great place to start. It can be hard to trust yourself, and believe you are worthy. You may feel guilty speaking up for yourself or taking time for self care. It can be hard to feel better on your own. Your challenges can't be solved by doing the same things you've always done. I believe everyone is their own best healer, but it can be hard without support. I can help you discover why you feel the way you do, help you believe you are worth committing to change, and find practical ways to feel better and move forward in your life.

My intention is to meet individuals exactly where they are at in life.
Hi welcome! My name is Angelica (like from the Rugrats if you are part of that era). As a therapist i encourage my clients to understand “Change is part of the process”. Which is the foundation of therapy... My goal as a clinician is to always provide a safe place full of laughter, insight, and most of all healing and understanding. "If you do the work, then therapy will work" is the mantra I tell the individuals I work with. If you are ready to take that next step I look forward to collaborating with you on your self-healing journey.

The life you’ve been craving needs all of you in it! Call me now for your free 30-Minute consultation.
You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart – no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
