About ANGELA

---

I obtained a graduate degree from Sam Houston University and became a certified school counselor after three years of teaching elementary students. During my time as a classroom teacher I  quickly realized that I wanted to help my students beyond academics.  I wanted to help them emotionally.  I understood that if a student wasn't well emotionally they could struggle academically.

For the past eleven years I have been helping students as well as their families with behavioral and emotional concerns. I have felt such an honor in teaching young people along with their families how to manage and cope with daily life challenges, emotional pain due to trauma, as well as how to handle anger, conflict, grief and depression by teaching them healthy coping strategies.

 I pursued my career as a licensed professional counselor to reach beyond my students.  I want to help you rise and inspire through difficult situations by providing a safe and non-judgmental place to learn, grow and create the changes you want to make in your life.
