As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see clients through the lens of their relationships. Satisfying connections with family, intimate others, co-workers, neighbors, and friends are crucial to a satisfying life, as are our relationships with ourselves.

Angela recognizes that when one person in a family system is experiencing significant distress, the entire family affected.

Marriage counseling is one of the most challenging and yet most rewarding work a counselor can do. I work largely from a Christian based Gottman approach that quickly assesses the unique problems within the relationship ensuring we work on what needs repair.

My couples work is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based methods: we identify the emotional cycle driving your conflict and change it at its source. This is what produces durable improvement in trust, communication, and intimacy. Online sessions available.

I particularly like to work with gay male couples experiencing relationship problems. However, I also provide marriage preparation and other conjoint therapy aimed at better communication and facilitation of change and fulfillment in romantic relationships.

I am passionate about marriage! The majority of my practice is dedicated to working with couples. My approach is based in attachment theory. We will work to build a healthy connection with your spouse and you will learn about yourselves as individuals as well.
