“Maybe the best thing I’ve ever done was wait. I made an art form out of endurance.

And you were worth every single moment.”

Tyler Knott-Gregson

 

Meet Angela Powell, M.Ed., Counseling Intern

Have you been in a season of waiting? Waiting to reconnect with your partner. Waiting for the kids to be in a different stage. Waiting for that special someone to come into your life. Waiting to seek help to figure out the twists and turns of your relationship. Waiting for change to come.

We have all faced times of intense waiting where it seems like we just cannot take another step on our own.

I would be honored to walk alongside you to help you power through that stuck place to meaningful change. With evidence-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we can look together at patterns, recurring arguments, and fears to move towards re-establishing connection and trust. Together, we will make meaningful shifts to bring your most important relationships into a place of safety, tenderness, and even joy!

As a part of individual counseling, you and I can delve into interpersonal dynamics, explore your personal identity and goals, and courageously move towards challenges to discover next steps towards peace.

If you have been wanting to get help to live more freely and lovingly, my hope is that we can work together to move towards healing, connection, and positive change.
