allow me to reintroduce myself 🎤 my name is Angel ✨

🪽 eldest daughter turned therapist
🪽 pathological people pleaser turned licensed professional
🪽 SAHM turned PLLC owner

offering virtual sessions to folks living in NC 💻
with an in-person office near Garner, NC coming later this year 👀

my therapy sessions are grounded in human connection, authenticity, & ethical care.

my clients say I am real, raw, & a silly goose. my peers say I take mental health care very seriously, while also not taking myself too seriously. my family & friends weren’t asked to provide a comment because ✨ boundaries ✨ and they get my personal opinions, not personalized care plans based on best practices & evidence-based, clinical care 🤪

my goal as a therapist is to meet my clients in their mess, challenge them, provide a space where they feel seen and heard, all while supporting them through their peaks, pits, & everything in between.

it’s time to step out of survival mode and step into freedom, confidence, and radical self-compassion.

Most of my clients live in rural areas of North Carolina, and when I ask, “What do you enjoy doing just for fun?” during intakes, many respond that they don’t have any hobbies, followed by the familiar, “There’s nothing to do here but get in trouble,” which I heard so often growing up in my own rural North Carolina county. So, I made a list 🫡 These hobbies have no start-up costs, are free, and offer mental health benefits.

✨ What free, small-town hobbies would you add? Leave 'em in the comments!

Shout out to .chalker for inspiring this morning's yap session!

I like things to look good, sound good, and feel good before I start & I know I’m not the only one. When we neglect our goals because we’re leaning into perfectionism, we’re telling ourselves, “your efforts don’t count if they aren’t perfect.”

NEWSFLASH: That just simply isn't true.

A shaky step forward is still a step forward. Start steppin' friends!

You might call yourself a mess. I’d call it trying your best in situations that were never easy.

And the fact that you keep showing up? That matters.

Working diagnosis: she’s trying her best.
Evidence-based? Debatable. Relatable? Absolutely.

2021: low self-trust, external validation seeking, fear of getting it wrong ➡️ 2026: internal validation, aligned decisions, tolerance for being seen

A shift from “Do I have what it takes?” to “I’ve had it all along.”
Nothing about me was missing, I just hadn’t decided I was someone who gets to win 🪽🏹✨

Just go look at my Psychology Today profile 🫠 I’m done trying to record for the day. Hopefully the lack of an intro video won’t deter you from scheduling a session 😂
