About Angela
MPH, CDC Certified Divorce Coach
After 20 years of working in public health, and then experiencing a high conflict divorce with a small child, I came out with a mission to help families approach divorce with less fear, conflict, and heartache and ultimately healthier co-parenting dynamics.
I am certified as a Divorce Coach through the CDC Certified Divorce Coach program and as well as a Certified ParentTeam Expert. My training also draws from King County Collaborative Law (KCCL), the work of Karen Bonnell, and the mentorship of Anne Robinson Lucas.
I also service as a court-appointed advocate for families through King County's Family Law CASA and am a member of Cascadia Collaborative Divorce. I hold a Masters in Public Health degree from the University of California Berkeley and BA in Economics from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR.
In addition to coaching, I still design websites for individuals and businesses and love setting new entrepreneurs up for success by helping them establish a web presence. I also teach aerial silks and circus arts, as my personal passion and form of creative expression.
My Style
Every divorce looks as unique as the people that are involved. So I lead with deep listening and empathy and tune in to my clients so that I can really see each person as an individual. I believe that the biggest benefits of coaching come through deeper connections and learning habits over time, so I encourage my clients to commit to working together for several sessions. At the same time, I understand the fluctuations of life, especially during a divorce. Sometimes we need support immediately and repeatedly, sometimes we can fly on our own for a bit. I try to make myself available for sessions within 1-3 business days and available by text or email on a daily basis because I know that time often matters.
If you'd like to get to know me, please book a complimentary 15 minute consultation on my calendar. Or if you are ready to dive in, schedule a 55 minute session, either virtual or in person at my office in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood!
