Meet your therapist, Angela

After completing two Master’s degrees in psychotherapy both in the United States and abroad in the UK, I launched my private practice in San Diego, CA two weeks before the city went on lock down in 2020. The tiny room I rented in the back of a yoga studio closed down and I was redirected to take my practice outdoors. I met with the families and women I began my practice with under the shade of the beautiful trees in Kate Sessions Park and shortly after started offering walk & talk sessions on the Bay and Beaches of San Diego. Virtual therapy started becoming readily accessible in 2020 and I added that option to my practice. In 2021, I had my first child and that changed the direction of the focus of my work. I completed a Perinatal Mental Health certificate through Postpartum Support International and partnered with a local birth center to provide comprehensive mental health care for families. I have experience walking alongside Mama’s who:

• have experienced Postpartum Psychosis and are trying to reintegrate into their lives

• are struggling with isolation and loneliness in Motherhood due to strained family or friendships

• have experienced multiple pregnancy losses and feel stuck & hopeless

• are experiencing sadness, grief, or depression on a scale and intensity they have never experienced before

• are trying to cope with levels of anxiety that are limiting or preventing them from showing up the way they desire to in Motherhood.

• are committed to changing and healing through generational trauma

• experienced a birth injury that has impacted their postpartum period and connection with their baby

• are learning new ways to shift in comparison traps & shame spirals

• need support navigating changes in their relationship with their partner in couple’s therapy
