Meet Angela

How I can help you

My approach to therapy is all about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your true self. I believe that everyone has intrinsic value but sometimes we struggle to see our own self-worth. Sometimes, we're stuck living in our past, and unhelpful beliefs and negative habits get in the way of living a better life. I work to help my clients improve their quality of life by identifying their strengths, utilizing new coping skills, and growing their support systems. I believe we can learn to be more vulnerable, more connected to others, and more present to improve our quality of life.

I'm passionate about working with women who are ready to dive deep into their personal growth journey. I have found that client's make significant progress when they possess strong self-awareness and come to therapy with a clear idea of the goals they have and issues they would like to work on. This allows me to help you get to the root of your struggles and make significant progress in our work together.

Throughout our work together, I am dedicated to hearing and validating your experiences without judgment. I am here to support you a we work to uncover your inherent strengths and cultivate self-compassion.

My clients often describe me as empathetic, supportive, and understanding. They appreciate my ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where they can freely express themselves and feel truly heard.

What is your approach to therapy?

Often, we are stuck living in our past experiences, and negative beliefs get in the way of living a better life. I aim to help my clients improve their quality of life by identifying their strengths, utilizing new coping skills, and strengthening their support systems. I utilize CBT, as well as other approaches, to help adults develop healthier ways of thinking about themselves and responding to stressors in their environment.

Why did you become a therapist?

I decided to become a social worker after reflecting on my experiences as a first-generation immigrant and the struggles of my family assimilating to this new country. I remembered how social workers were there to support my family every step of the way and the difference they made in our lives.

What is your educational background?

I have a Master degree in Social Work from University of CT. My degree enabled me to gain a deep understanding of how biological, psychological, environmental, and social systems impact people's functioning and potential. This comprehensive education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support my clients effectively.

What else should I know about you?

I believe that everyone has intrinsic value, but sometimes we struggle to see our own self-worth. Therapy is a sacred space where we can learn to be more vulnerable, more connected to others, and more present to improve our quality of life. I believe it's possible to overcome our emotional hurdles and transition from simply surviving to thriving.
