emotionally focused therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy is a modality of couples and individual therapy that slows down and extinguishes harmful reactive behaviors that damage relationships.
​
Together, we will identify the negative reactive cycle that is keeping you stuck and replace it with clearer communication that speaks directly to the heart of the matter.
sex therapy
Research consistently shows that there is a positive relationship between sexual satisfaction and overall relationship satisfactions, stability and longevity.
Oddly, we are not taught to talk about sex in a healthy way with our partners or even ourselves.
We, and the people we love, are left in confusion, isolation, and emotional pain.
You are not alone.
Angela is a trained and well versed sex therapist that can help you to regain understanding, confidence, and joy in your most intimate parts of life and relationship.

There are names for what binds us:
strong forces, weak forces.
Look around, you can see them:
the skin that forms in a half-empty cup,
nails rusting into the places they join,
joints dovetailed on their own weight.
The way things stay so solidly
wherever they’ve been set down —
and gravity, scientists say, is weak.
And see how the flesh grows back
across a wound, with a great vehemence,
more strong
than the simple, untested surface before.
There’s a name for it on horses,
when it comes back darker and raised: proud flesh,
as all flesh,
is proud of its wounds, wears them
as honors given out after battle,
small triumphs pinned to the chest —
And when two people have loved each other
see how it is like a
scar between their bodies,
stronger, darker, and proud;
how the black cord makes of them a single fabric
that nothing can tear or mend.
