About The Founder

Hi, my name is Angela and I started Bright Wisdom Therapy with one goal in mind: to help people find happiness in their work, relationships, and life! I am a Christian Emotionally Focused (EFT) Trained, Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist (CCTP-II). I also hold an Advanced Certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (EMDRPT-II), and I specialize in helping individuals overcome the effects of trauma and secure attachment ruptures and underdevelopment. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) #03406 in the State of KS. I work under the supervision of Crystal Horsch, LCMFT #2870. Crystal is a member of the AAMFT, and is a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor for the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (KSBSRB).

I am a Veteran of the United States Navy, and I hold my MS in General Psychology from Purdue University Global, and my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. Additionally, I hold my BS in Legal Studies from Kaplan University. I am also a SHRM-CP and PHR Certified Senior Level HR / HCM Professional with several years of experience coaching and guiding individuals through their career path and the challenges they have encountered along the way. Finally, I have several years of experience in high-conflict divorce, parental alienation, and in dealing with the family courts. With my background, education, and experience in these areas combined with my personal interest in spirituality, I believe I can help motivate others to focus, reflect, and refine their lives with confidence and self-compassion.

I incorporate neuroscience principles and knowledge in my practice. This perspective provides insight into how the brain and nervous system influence relationship dynamics, attachment patterns, and emotional regulation to foster empathy and understanding. I believe that educating clients this way can be a foundational step in therapy along with CPT, CBT, Co-regulation and other brain based modalities.

If you are looking for a compassionate and collaborative therapist who can offer trauma informed care and help you become a more motivated and productive individual, couple, or family; and who understands how to help you become more resilient to change, improve self-care, find passion and purpose in your life, achieve greater communication, and adopt healthier patterns of behavior, I would love to work with you. It is my whole-hearted belief that you deserve to live your best life, with the happiness and that sense of peacefulness that you wish for. Just imagine what that might feel like! You can feel better. The changes you want are within your reach. I'm here to help you reprocess traumatic memories and develop new, positive beliefs for healing and resilience.
