Hello, I am so glad you’re here!

Strong, affirming relationships are at the core of our mental well-being, and my goal is to support and guide the client as they navigate their relationships, challenges, and whatever life throws their way. 

I identify as a 1.5-gen Asian American and tend to approach therapy through a systemic lens. My hope is to support clients in exploring their values and strengths and working towards becoming their more authentic selves. 

As a warm and affirming therapist, I believe in utilizing the therapeutic relationship to also challenge and disrupt patterns through collaboration, pulling from Narrative, Existential, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are going through life transitions, working through familial and romantic relationships, identifying as an adult child of an alcoholic, and having experiences with attachment trauma or childhood neglect.

I am a double University of Minnesota alum (Go Gophs!) with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Arts in Educational Psychology, Counselor Education. I am now pursuing LPC/LPCC licensure. I studied music throughout my undergraduate career and have experience in career counseling for students in the arts and humanities.

I am originally from a small suburb of Chicago but have spent enough time in Minnesota to call both places home. When I am not at the office, I love to cook, crochet, play my clarinet in a community band, and find my next favorite coffee shop or bookstore.

Community of focus: Angela really enjoys working with adoptees, multiracial/interracial couples, artists/musicians, BIPOC/AAPI-Identifying folks and immigrants or children of immigrants.
