Welcome, I’m Angela

Do you want to feel more connected to yourself and others, and develop a stronger sense of belonging? I work with women who consciously or unconsciously learned early on to adapt or suppress their needs to stay connected, and later found those patterns reinforced by a fast, disconnected culture lacking community and compassion.

I help you create something different: to feel present, clearer about your needs, and able to relate without losing yourself. Building connection that feels genuine, and grounding — not something you have to earn or perform for.

you learned early to manage a lot on your own — to stay small, stay alert or stay helpful when steady emotional support wasn’t available. Maybe you experienced childhood trauma; circumstances that overwhelmed your developing nervous system. Unconscious states such as fight/flight/freeze/fawn became the norm.

And while those patterns once protected you, they can now leave you feeling:

• a quiet ache for the childhood you didn’t get
• unfulfilled in relationships
• lonely and not belonging
• moving between overwhelm, numbness or shutdown

None of this is your fault.
It’s the imprint of growing up without the consistent, attuned care every child deserves. And living in a society that profits off our disconnection, division, and ‘keep calm and carry on’ attitude.

Words from people I have supported

  • “I took so much pride in powering through and being an independent woman but in reality, I wanted to be loved, cared for and let people in but I was terrified of being let down. With Angela, I explored how I could introduce letting others in and support without losing myself or becoming co-dependent. I feel so much lighter and free”

  • "Working with Angela truly opened my eyes to how my emotionally cold parents shape my own beliefs-that I needed to be the good girl to deserve love. Now, I know I am worth so much more and feel I can be myself without always wearing a mask”

  • ‘I am no longer checked out & feeling like life is passing me by. Somatic Experiencing with Angela taught me about the freeze response. We worked slowly. It was so different from other therapy where everything was about changing thoughts. I am now in the driving seat of life & so grateful I can be present to the joys of seeing my grandkids play’

  • "I am more than what has happened to me in my childhood. Finally I can say it is part of me but doesn't define me or control me. I can set boundaries, ask for help and feel more stable in myself”

• you didn’t have to hold everything alone anymore
• you felt more at home in your body
• you had more room inside to breathe, pause and relate

• support didn’t feel like a threat to your independence
• you were able to connect with yourself and others authentically
• loneliness could be replaced by belonging

•you were able to create supportive relationships and a sense of community
• you created genuine relationships based on shared values

Imagine if…

community | sense of belonging | support | relationships | end loneliness | reduce isolation

What therapy with me feels like

Working together is slow, steady and spacious.
We move at the pace your body can hold — not the pace you think you “should.” Shedding childhood conditioning begins here!

You won’t be pushed to open up before you’re ready.
We build safety first, so your system can soften rather than brace.

Session by session, you’ll learn to notice what’s happening inside with more clarity, understand what your system is protecting you from, and gently expand your capacity for support, connection and choice.

It’s not about becoming someone different —
it’s about connecting to your needs and wants AND equipping you with the tools to meet these.
