About Angela
MPH, CDC Certified Divorce Coach
I have worked in public health for over 20 years, advocating for patients and helping them to navigate the healthcare system. But after becoming a mom and surviving a high conflict divorce with the help of an amazing coach, returning to health tech didn't call to me as much as working 1:1 with others going through the challenges of divorce and big life transitions.
​
My training as a coach draws from the CDC Certified Divorce Coach program and King County Collaborative Law, as well as the work of Karen Bonnell and my mentor, Heather Harman. 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.
​
I believe that the experience of divorce can be full of opportunity to shift our beliefs and transform ourselves and am dedicated to walking with my clients down this path.
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.
