Who Am I?

My name is Angela and I am a Licensed Social Worker who works with all ages of adults. I’m queer and came out later in life.  I am neurodivergent, a trauma survivor, former first responder, and a recovering perfectionist. You may have heard there are therapists out there that don’t want to see texts, screenshots, or videos. Not me! I want to see the relatable content!

I love working with:

  • Adults who are grieving.
  • Those find that their past is impacting their present life.
  • Those figuring out their identity and how to show up as themselves.
  • People who are worried or concerned about the state of the world around them.
  • Anyone struggling to deal with everyday life and relationships.  
  • People who feel stuck
  • First responders

Some of my favorite approaches include:

You know more about yourself than I ever will. I help you to use your strengths with traditional talk therapy, and skills in staying present in the moment and regulating emotions. I use humor, artistic expression, games, and play to help you tolerate and process what life is throwing at you.  

HOW I HELP

You deserve to feel better. You deserve to heal. I strive to create a space for you to feel brave enough to explore difficult emotions and situations.

Beliefs section

Trauma is part of the human experience. Healing is possible. The healing journey is messy and scary.   There are many paths to healing. There is a way for you.  

What it’s like in a session with me

Therapy is something we do together, it’s not something I do at you. We start by establishing boundaries, and discussing what you want to get out of therapy. You guide the process and direct me towards the life you want to live. I help keep us on that course with psychoeducation, skills, and healing practices. I don’t have all the answers and will let you know if I don’t know something. There is no dress code, so come comfortable, take your shoes off if you want, grab a blanket, and sip your favorite beverage. We are going to laugh, cry, and heal. I am here to be your biggest advocate. We are in this together. I got your back.  

More about me

Outside of work I like to make collage art out of vintage magazines, tend to my houseplants, attempt outdoor gardening, and follow Brandi Carlise around the world with my partner. I am originally from the Philadelphia area, and have called Chicago home for 15 years. I seek out new destinations and life experiences through travel.
