Hi. I’m Angela. I hold a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from the state of Virginia. I operate from a Biblical worldview. I provide individual, some dyadic (couples), and some family counseling.
I have expertise in counseling persons experiencing anxiety, mood and adjustment disorders, grief, loss, bereavement, divorce, family or relational problems, assertiveness issues, anger management, career adjustment or indecision, and other mental health disorders and challenges as described in DSM 5th Edition of the American Psychiatric Association. I will make appropriate referrals should we find that my clinical experience or approach is not effectively meeting your needs or expectations.
Healing is at its best when the whole person is considered. this includes mental (thoughts), emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. Needs impacting our internal well-being include relational, social, financial, environmental, intellectual and occupational. Symptoms that appear to be mental health-related in nature are rooted in one of the above factors. Getting to the root, identifying the underlying need(s), and meeting these needs in a healthy manner generally tends to relieve symptoms. The goal in helping you to become healed (for symptoms to be alleviated or well managed) is to walk alongside you through the journey of self-awareness and insight, aiding you to put solutions to the identified challenges, desires, and longings.
