Together We Can Create Ripples of Change

You bring your motivation and strengths and I will bring my professional experience and expertise. In our work together, each small shift we bring about has the power to ripple out….through your thoughts, feelings, and actions, into your interactions with family, your relationships, your work, and your greater community. The ripple effects are exponential!

ABOUT dr. ANGELA

I have worked as a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California for over 20 years practicing psychotherapy, as an adjunct psychology professor in two graduate school psychology programs, and have transitioned into also working as a global life coach.

Both California and Spain are places I call home. In Spain, I live just steps away from the Camino de Santiago. Activities and interests that spark my aliveness are outdoor adventuring, hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, gardening, herbalism, playing music, learning languages, studying the Ageless Wisdom, genealogy research, international gastronomy and specialty coffee!
