Hi There!

I'm Angel (she/her)

I offer trauma therapy to adults in california

If you’ve always been the overachiever, perfectionist, helper, or outsider, you may look like you’re doing well while quietly feeling lonely, exhausted, or detached. You may be carrying a sense of dread, family expectations, cultural pressures, and the weight of navigating a world that doesn’t always affirm all of who you are. You can experience healing, and your experiences matter.
You might be feeling…
  • Unseen, misunderstood, or lonely—even around people you love
  • Afraid of failing or not being “good enough”
  • Lost, stuck, heavy, or like an imposter
  • Exhausted from always being the strong one
  • Empty despite your accomplishments
  • Dependent on approval to feel worthy or whole
  • Pushing aside your emotions to “keep the peace”
  • Code-switching or changing parts of yourself to fit in
  • Struggling with identity, belonging, or being yourself
  • Carrying family, cultural, or generational expectations
You’ve achieved so much, but fulfillment still feels out of reach. You’re tired of proving, pleasing, and pushing through—and you’re ready to reconnect with yourself without losing who you are in the process.
I see you.
You get to give yourself permission to live as your authentic self. In sessions together, you and I will build trust so you have a place with no judgment, and begin to learn what confidence and self-compassion look like. For you.

Work one-on-one with me to identify the roots of low self-worth and negative beliefs, break the  patterns that keep you feeling stuck, grow awareness and connect with feelings of worthiness, and embrace healthy and positive relationships with yourself and others. This space will allow you to show up as your whole self. 

Brainspotting enhances traditional talk therapy by working with the mind and body’s innate ability to heal. By accessing and processing emotions and trauma memories from a bottom-up, deeper level, Brainspotting is a non-oppressive therapy modality that can help achieve sustained healing and resilience.

Collaborate with me in honoring the past and validating your present experiences that make you, you. This affirming space supports you in finding your strengths and path to healing, with the goal of processing homophobia and transphobias, and internalized versions of them, in a secure and attuned space with no judgment, guilt, or shame.

A secure, non-shaming, and non-judgemental place to process pains and heal – for survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, incest, intimate partner violence, childhood neglect, and psychological abuse. Trauma therapy can help you feel a sense of safety, emotional wellbeing,  and more connected with your true self.

Compassionate and empowering environment where you can honor and work through difficult racial experiences, be liberated from generational patterns, expand, and thrive.
