Angelica’s approach to counseling is person-centered, and she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices to support her clients. Angelica is most excited to promote empowerment with clients, to help them feel confident in their ability to take control of their lives and the steps they will take to overcome limitations.
Angelica’s work environment and experience help her to deeply appreciate the positive impact compassionate counselors can have on helping create a more hopeful future for clients.
When working with couples, Angelica’s approach involves helping each person understand they do not need to change who they are completely to be in a healthy relationship. However, she encourages each person in the relationship to make changes together and hold one another accountable to better themselves and the relationship. Specific topics that Angelica covers with couples include creating and opening communication, conflict resolution, exploring different love languages, and boundaries that each person brings into a relationship. Building skills in these areas can enhance couples' use of empathy, understanding, and feelings of connectedness.
The individuals Angelica works with appreciate her empathy and compassionate nature. Angelica gives her clients time to get comfortable and establish a foundation of skills, knowledge, and techniques that encourage healthy coping and behaviors before beginning to unpack traumas. Angelica understands that life is constantly changing, it can be difficult to keep up with, and that asking for help can be a daunting task. She believes that asking for help demonstrates great courage and bravery to try something new and explore one’s own self. Angelica strives to be a listening ear, provide a safe and comfortable place for free expression, and assist clients in their personal journey towards healthier living.
