Angi's Education and Training

Angi earned her Master's of Science in Clinical Counseling from Central Methodist University. She is currently a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri and has recently earned her National Certified Counselor standards in 2021.

Angi enjoys working with both adolescents and adults on issues regarding making life changes towards recovery, thoughts and feelings of anxiety, learning skills to enhance relationships with one’s self and others, understanding and navigating depression, building strong relationships, processing deep networks of trauma and most importantly, learning to love one’s self for who we are.

Angi has received training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is a psychotherapy technique enabling people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are a result of disturbing life experiences. Angi has also been trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that combines strategies like mindfulness, acceptance and emotional regulation. It can help people who have difficulty with emotional regulation or are exhibiting self-destructive behaviors. This type of therapy is also sometimes used to treat post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), eating disorders, substance use disorders, and borderline personality disorders.

Angi's passions in life

I love a great movie or series on Netflix. I currently am spending many evenings watching “Call of a Midwife” or the entire run through of “Gray’s Anatomy”. I enjoy love stories with happy endings and a great comical. I tend to like off humor and really enjoy reruns of “Friends”.

As much as I would love to say I have time for, I enjoy the following as much as I can; shopping, crafting (I have many supplies………….now to find the time), hanging out with my 5 grandchildren, hosting family dinners, laughing with friends and my husband of 35 years and most of all camping and jet skiing with family!!

I am from Fayette, Missouri and have a passion for small town living. As a therapist I have come to fully understand the importance of a support system. Having been raised in Fayette, I knew growing up that I was safe and always knew people around me. People that would help direct me in the right way, and would hold me accountable to do what is right. What a wonderful system to grow up in! I now have an opportunity to impact this for my grandchildren. I want them to have the fond memories of growing up in a small town that is supportive of their wellbeing. A place they can feel safe and find amazing memories. By helping those in my county with their mental health, I am supporting that mission. I’m helping those that will in turn be able to help my grandchildren. My goal is to do whatever I can to educate and help anyone in need in Howard County and elsewhere if asked. I choose Fayette as my base and in turn have chosen Fayette as my epic center.
