I have great respect for the journey that people take as they learn to create their own life and I understand their sharing it with me to be a privilege. The most central ideas in my work stem from using a holistic approach in which I facilitate the concept of mindfulness and acceptance of oneself. I find that using a variety of theories and techniques based on each individual's personality and needs are what has been most effective in working with clients from various backgrounds.

Talking with someone who listens respectfully and skillfully helps people make positive changes in their lives. I am experienced in helping people change habits to improve their health; build stronger, more satisfying relationships; overcome fears that hold them back; come to terms with loss and grow more emotionally resilient.

I offer a pragmatic, heart-centered approach when working with clients. I believe that a good therapeutic outcome is more than just the reduction of symptoms; it must include the cultivation of positive states as well. In other words, feeling less bad is not the same as feeling good.

I have a warm, calm and accepting presence and enjoy examining the work from multiple perspectives. I believe clinical work should help increase insight by finding connections between past experiences, the present moment and expectations of the future. My practice is informed by psychodynamic approaches, creating an open and flexible space that is responsive to changing needs. I incorporate metaphor, analogy, art, music, play, mindfulness and relaxation to more fully explore the self in moving toward expression and authenticity.

I work with individuals and couples seeking to understand and resolve issues that get in the way of a fulfilling life and satisfying personal relationships. Whether struggling with longstanding issues or recent life transitions, we may find ourselves locked into familiar but uncomfortable patterns that prevent us from engaging fully in our lives. I offer a collaborative and attentive presence as we explore the emotions and behaviors that drive those patterns, deepen our understanding of the forces that have shaped you, and identify ways to work toward a more engaged and joyful life.

Finding a therapist is hard, but finding one you connect with can be even harder. Whether you are looking for additional coping strategies to add to your tool box, currently on the brink of a crisis, or maybe you don't know your “why” but feel as though you need to talk with someone, I would love to sit and listen. My name is Angelica. I am warm, non-judgemental and my approach to therapy is simple, come as you are. Showing up can be hard at times but it allows us the opportunity to build a rapport, reflect together, identify and when necessary confront behaviors that are contributing to our stressors.

Therapy supports well-being when the relationship helps us tap into our strengths and resources. My commitment to you is to build this kind of relationship. Results include improved mood, relationships,increased energy, motivation, self acceptance, and creativity. I practice a body-based therapy called Somatic Experiencing that is a gentle approach to healing PTSD and symptoms of trauma. These include anxiety, depression, physical symptoms, and difficulty staying grounded in the present. We may use methods informed by my experience and training in contemplative practices and expressive therapies along with psychodynamic and cognitive therapies.

My practice is based on Motivational Interviewing, a counseling approach that holds the belief that each of us has the capacity to develop solutions to the problems we confront and that the role of a therapist is to collaborate with people to identify goals, and strategies to achieve those goals, that best fit their lives. People who enter therapy with me can expect to experience an empathic, supportive and respectful relationship that aims to help them increase their clarity regarding the choices facing them, their motivation to pursue important life changes, and their confidence in their ability to do so.

My primary goal is to empower my adult clients. I do this by helping them understand their personal patterns, triggers, and behaviors. I customize my methods to each person's individual needs while drawing on my training and experience. I offer an empathic, judgment-free space for clients to explore the issues that concern them. From this client-centered foundation we can identify clear goals, barriers, and strategies for change. My practice is LGBTQIA+-affirming and BIPOC-allied.
