I believe we all possess deep inner wisdom that requires careful nourishing and intention to access more fully. For many people, this means transforming trauma into awakening by diving inward to discover what is beneath the surface. For others, it means taking personal growth to a deeper level and facing hard things in order to unlock potential. I am here to support your evolution towards a more meaningful, mindful, and connected existence.
My journey to becoming and being a therapist has been deeply personal. In the process of meditation, therapy, cultivating secure relationships, and bonding with the ocean, earth, and plant medicine, I have come to see clearly how we are all worthy of compassion.
Learning to befriend challenging emotions has expanded my capacity to approach every client with acceptance. Grieving the tragic losses of loved ones propelled me toward my potential and led me to discover my purpose. Today, I feel my most authentic self when working with people in a therapeutic setting and I have had the pleasure of witnessing true transformation in those who have been courageous enough to take baby steps and giant leaps in our work together.
With compassion, Angie, LLP, LPC
