About us
Hi, I’m Angelica!
Come take a journey with me, where together we will craft a creative healing experience just for you. Working together we will find way to help you heal from whatever may be stopping you from living your life with freedom and purpose.
I believe in using your creativity to help find a way out of anything that may have caused pain in your life. I have seen many people heal their hearts and lives to create the life they had always dreamed of. Now, I want to help you increase the light that lives inside of you.
For over a decade, I have used traditional evidence-based therapies, in addition to creative interventions, group therapy, and the latest EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, to help move the healing process along. To me, laughter is as healing as crying, so don’t be surprised if you hear laughter coming out of my office!
I look forward to getting to know you better and helping to you heal, stay healthy and grow.
It’s my heart’s desire to make sure that each client is able to get in touch with their inner creativity, so they can create the life they have always dreamed of and deserve, one filled with love, joy and healing.”

Angelica has spoken nationally and internationally on a variety of topics including, trauma, self-injury and eating disorders.
My journey to creating Eden began one day, when I was praying and felt God directing me to start a faith-based group. At this point in my life, I had spent over a decade working with people with eating disorders and wanted to offer a space where science and faith could truly intersect. My goal was to create a group where people might learn to cultivate the garden of their heart to heal, repair and restore and take them back to the very beginning. To Eden.
My inspiration to start this collaborative of therapist's was based on my relationship with God. I have seen people of all faiths and no faith come into our offices, groups and transform their lives.
All are welcome!
Science can change, but only God can transform.
Hi, I’m Marian!
I’ve always been deeply curious about what makes relationships work—what helps people feel connected, understood, and secure, both with others and within themselves. That curiosity grew from my own experiences navigating the complexities of relationships, and it has led me to a career dedicated to helping others build meaningful, fulfilling connections.
As a licensed mental health therapist, I specialize in working with couples, adults, young adults, and teens. My focus is on supporting clients in exploring the patterns that shape their relationships, improving communication, and fostering a stronger sense of self. I believe that healing happens in connection—and that healthy relationships are foundational to emotional well-being.
In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the opportunity to share insights on relationship dynamics through guest appearances on podcasts such as Love On and The Coffee Breakup, contributing to wider conversations about love, self-awareness, and growth.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience. Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with self-esteem, or simply wanting to deepen your emotional connections, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to move toward the life and relationships you want.
salsa dance!
I love to

Hi, I’m Ivanna!
I’ve always been drawn to the richness of human stories—curious about what shapes us, what sustains us, and how we find our way through pain and transformation. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the honor of working with children and families, particularly within the foster care and dependency system. This work has deepened my belief in the resilience of the human spirit and strengthened my commitment to creating spaces for healing, growth, and hope.
Each of us carries a personal narrative—a living story shaped by relationships, experiences, and turning points. Sometimes, that story gets interrupted or burdened by challenges that make it hard to see the next chapter. I believe therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and gently rewrite the parts of our story that no longer serve us.
My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I strive to offer a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your story with honesty and compassion. Whether you are navigating trauma, transition, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you uncover strength, clarity, and new meaning in your journey.
just in case...
I carry a book with me
