How I Help
I help teens, young adults, and families navigate the messy, confusing, and meaningful parts of growing up and becoming who they are.
I believe the most meaningful change happens through real connection—the kind that feels warm, honest, and even a little fun. In therapy with me, you’ll find a space where you can be yourself, feel supported, and also be gently challenged when you need it.
Together, we build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self-trust.
Most therapy focuses on coping skills. That can help, but it’s often not enough.
My work goes deeper, focusing on patterns, relationships, and the root of what’s going on so change actually lasts. I draw from psychodynamic and process-oriented therapy, which means we look at how your past experiences and relationships are shaping what’s happening now, and pay attention to what’s coming up in real time so we can work through it—not just talk about it.
I also integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and practical tools when they’re helpful, so you have support both in and outside of sessions.
For those ready to do deeper trauma work, I’m trained in Phase 1 Brainspotting, a focused, body-based approach that helps process experiences that feel hard to put into words.

For Teens
Hey, I’m Angie.
I’m based in Los Angeles, where I spend my time at the beach, in the mountains, hanging out with friends, and with my very playful pets.
I’ve been working with teens for nearly a decade, and I genuinely enjoy it. I know therapy can feel weird, awkward, or like something you didn’t exactly choose… and that’s okay. You don’t have to have the right words or know where to start.
A lot of the teens I work with are dealing with things like anxiety, overthinking, stress, identity, friendships, family stuff, or just feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Some have been through really hard things. Some just feel off and don’t know why.
Either way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself—talk, laugh, vent, or just sit—and where things start to make more sense over time.
For Parents
Hi, I’m Angie.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #128710) based in Los Angeles, and I’ve been working with teens and their families for nearly a decade. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver, with a concentration in child welfare.
I’ve worked with teens in higher levels of care, including residential treatment and intensive outpatient programs, supporting adolescents and families through challenges like anxiety, trauma, self-harm, substance use, and relationship difficulties. This means I’m comfortable sitting with the hard stuff—and helping it actually shift.
I understand how difficult it can be to watch your teen struggle, and how hard it can be to know how to help.
My approach focuses on building a strong, trusting relationship with your teen while also supporting the family system when appropriate. Together, we work toward better communication, stronger connection, and meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you’re a teen or a parent, you’re in the right place.
