My clinical focus is improving overall well-being and functional outcomes through individualized practical strategies that supports safety,
stability and growth.”

Angela says, “I enjoy watching people rediscover their own strengths and seeing wins that build into real change. I also love the collaborative side of this work with clients and with other agencies that are involved in order to untangle the barriers to create practical solutions. It’s rewarding to witness someone go from feeling stuck to feeling capable in managing their daily life.”

Outside of work, you’ll find Angela in the garden, outside in the sun, out on her scooter, or diving into something new she’s learning.
