Rebirth

Jeff’s story:

“Coming out of the pandemic, I took a sabbatical from work to address several health issues I was facing. After confiding in a friend I felt frustrated and stuck in my health journey, she recommended I see Angela.”

Before seeing Angela, I was completely numb. I had spent years in a high-pressure, demanding job, neglecting my physical, mental, and emotional health.

I had been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and while I had been seeing a talk therapist for years, had stopped making progress. I felt disconnected, disengaged from life, and largely hopeless about my future.

I remember an early session with Angela. We always begin with a discussion of the things in my life worth celebrating from the past week and in this session, I tried to skip past it and speak only about the challenges I was facing. Angela very gently brought us back to celebrations and it was then I realized how different her work was from other forms of therapy I had experienced. Angela doesn't view or treat her clients as broken toys in need of fixing. Rather her genius lies in creating safe, radically supportive containers in which her clients can be their full selves and grow confidently into living lives of abundance. 

After less than a year of working with Angela, I have a new lease on life. I navigate my life with a sense of ease and confidence previously unexperienced. I feel resilient. I no longer run or hide from negative emotion, but welcome it with curiosity. I've unlocked new levels of awareness both internally and externally and as a result the world feels more inviting and I feel more connected to it than ever before.

I feel connected to my desires and have been able to be honest with myself and others in ways I never have before.

Often when on a journey with a specific destination in mind, I can feel impatient. In the past, part of my success has been my ability to put on blinders to focus on getting places with maximum efficiency. My journey with Angela felt very different. We stopped and smelled the flowers, celebrated small victories along the way, and slowed down to deeply experience the journey itself. We also had a lot of fun doing it! Often my sessions with Angela felt like play.

Angela is magnetic, wise, and truly, deeply, and quite radically compassionate.

I feel reborn through my work with Angela.
