Angela is a Registered Social Worker working with adults (18+). She obtained her Bachelors and Masters degree in Social Work. Angela primarily works with childhood, attachment, and relationship trauma. She also uses ART to help people process traumatic incidents, grief, loss, and to understand and bring compassion to challenges with self-esteem and self-worth.



ART is one of my primary approaches and the one I recommend most often for trauma. It works by helping your brain reprocess painful memories at a neurological level -- so they lose their emotional charge without you having to retell every difficult detail out loud.



What makes ART different is how quickly it works. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within just a few sessions. If you've felt stuck carrying something for years, ART can help move it.



ART is a powerful trauma processing tool that is not widely practiced in Ottawa. If you have unresolved trauma that still feels present, memories that are easily triggered, emotions that spike when you think about what happened, or a body that hasn't quite caught up with the fact that the event is over, ART may be worth exploring.
