A GOOD FIT
You might be in the right place if
From the outside, it usually looks fine.
You don't have to be in crisis for this to be worth it.
Free 15-minute consult, no pressure.
You look calm and capable, but your mind never really powers down.
You replay conversations long after everyone else has moved on.
You can handle a crisis, but an email, bill, or simple decision can freeze you.
You keep saying “I’m fine” while running on dread, caffeine, and self-criticism.
You know your patterns, but knowing has not made them easier to change.
THE THERAPIST
I'm Angela.
Most of my clients have been told to calm down, try harder, or just let it go.
I've never found that particularly useful advice.
Some days you're holding it together. Other days, your brain won't shut up and you're Googling “is this normal” at 2am. I've sat with thousands of those 2am brains.
For nearly twenty years I've done this work across private practice, community mental health, and psych ER — where people come in on the worst day of their lives. There's very little you can bring into a session that's going to faze me. I also have ADHD, which is relevant more often than you'd think.
You don't need to pick the right one. We figure that out together. See what I work with
WHAT I WORK WITH
Six things, mostly.
Your brain won't shut up
You can look fine and still be worn out from the loop in your head, especially when you need rest.
Read moreYou know what to do. You can't start
The list is obvious. The follow-through is the part that betrays you, again and again.
Read moreYou said yes. You meant no
You see the pattern. You do it again anyway. Awareness alone doesn’t move the habit.
Read moreIt never quite feels like enough
You can check every box. The worry doesn’t always leave with the task.
Read moreThe ground moved. You're not sure who you are in it
New job, new city, new chapter, and you’re still recalibrating in the mirror.
Read moreWhat you learned at home still runs the show
What kept you safe then doesn’t always know when to sit down now.

If even one of those felt familiar, we can start there.

What people say after a while.
Client, 32 · ADHD · two years in“When I spend four hours organizing a bookshelf instead of sending one email. She doesn’t look at me like I’m lazy.
She actually gets it.
Angela has ADHD too.”
Client, 28 · anxiety & people-pleasing“Therapy with Angela doesn’t feel like ‘therapy’ the way I expected.
She calls out my people-pleasing in a way that’s kind of funny, but also makes me actually want to change it.
I don’t feel like I’m being lectured or judged.”
Client, 38 · childhood trauma & patterns“I spent 30+ years pretending my childhood didn’t affect me.
Angela helped me connect it back to my family without making it feel cliché or forced.
She’s direct but not harsh, and can handle the heavy conversations without making it weird.”
If any of this sounds familiar, this is usually where I start with people.

Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns (And What to Do About It)
