Hi, I am Angelica Janik. I am so glad that you are here!
Angelica supports individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult early life experiences. She also works with people who feel stuck in familiar patterns, struggle to feel connected to themselves or others, or want to develop a deeper understanding of who they are and what they need.
With extensive experience in the wellness field, Angelica recognizes that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, particularly when you’ve spent a long time navigating things on your own. She strives to create a welcoming space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences at their own pace.
Whether you’re working through painful experiences, navigating a difficult season of life, or hoping to feel more grounded and connected in your relationships, Angelica is committed to helping you move toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
Outside of the therapy room, Angelica has a love for movement, creativity, and trying new things. With a background in dance, music, and the performing arts, she’s also a yoga, breathwork, and meditation teacher. She’s no stranger to a challenge, having completed both a full Ironman and a half Ironman! When she’s not training or finding stillness on her yoga mat, you might find her riding her motorcycle or learning to play the violin.
Whether she’s exploring a new creative outlet, pushing her limits, or finding moments of quiet, Angelica enjoys discovering the many ways we can challenge ourselves, stay curious, and feel more connected to life.
