01 · Who Angela works with
Angela lists 5 specialisms and 29 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Angela chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Angela's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, I'm Angela and I have over 20 years of working with adolescents, individuals, and families in a variety of settings. I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I take a genuine, person-centered approach, meeting you where you are and providing a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.
I work best with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, or life transitions, as well as couples who are experiencing communication challenges, emotional distance, or simply want to strengthen their connection. I also support clients managing co-occurring concerns such as substance use, grief, and relationship stress. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or growth, I strive to meet you where you are and tailor the process to your unique needs and goals.
The impact I aim to have in your life is helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your emotions and decisions. Through our work together, you can expect to gain deeper self-awareness, improve your relationships, and develop healthier ways of thinking, coping, and communicating. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling empowered-with the tools, insight, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

03 · What happens next
Angela practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Angela's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Angela at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Angela is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Angela.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Angela actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Angela's - Angela has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Angela's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 5 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Angela. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
