Hello, I am so glad you’re here!

Strong, affirming relationships are at the core of our mental well-being and creating that in the therapeutic space is my ultimate goal. I aim to empower my clients to build awareness and promote change in their lives, addressing the anxiety and stressors that life often throws our way. Inherently, I believe that broader social contexts and systems impact our well-being and will bring those perspectives into the session.

As a warm and collaborative therapist, I often pull from narrative, Acceptance and Commitment, and person-centered therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting (intervention that works by processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and seeking training in Internal Family Systems. 

I identify as a 1.5 gen Asian American and have a particular interest in working with adoptees, musicians, college/graduate students, and interracial/intercultural couples. I work primarily with individual adults and couples, focusing on identifying your strengths and values with the hopes of empowering you to make the most out of life and your relationships.

I am originally from the suburbs of Chicago but have spent enough time in Minnesota to call both places home. When I am not at the office, I love to spend my time cooking, crocheting, playing my clarinet in a community band, and trying new restaurants with the people I love.

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