Dynamic and creative in sessions/trainings, Angie creates an inviting, non-judgmental environment to explore change. She uses an Existential/Humanistic approach by meeting people where they are, and working toward resilience in their everyday lives. She works to show how what once felt impossible is now achievable. This resilience and use of skills allows a freedom for her clients to achieve their goals – at any level – via therapy, consulting, training, and guest lecture.

Perpetually curious and a lifelong learner, Angie is always looking forward to the next adventure, be it travel, crafting, or time spent laughing with those close to her.
