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.

I am also a mother, an international explorer, and a musician. I have been living in Spain, literally a few steps away from the Camino de Santiago, for over 5 years and I have walked a few Caminos myself. Activities and interests that spark my aliveness are outdoor adventuring, hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, gardening, herbalism, learning languages, studying the Ageless Wisdom, genealogy research, international gastronomy and specialty coffee!
