About Surthriving Psychological Services

A practice built on the belief that you have the strength to not just survive — but thrive.

What does "Surthriving" mean?

"Surthriving" is Dr. Angela's approach to life, not simply an arbitrary name to prompt questions. Dr. Angela believes that we all face obstacles and hard times that simply overwhelm the knowledge and coping skills we have learned up until that time.

She also believes that we have the strength and resilience we need to overcome the challenges that life will inevitably throw our way, but that we don't always know how to access that strength and resilience when we need it.

Therapy can provide the path for finding the understanding, skills, strength, and resilience we are seeking so we don't just survive the hard times but learn to thrive because of them.

Surthriving encompasses the entire continuum of surviving, striving, and thriving by embracing a growth mindset, leaning into our strengths, and using the lessons learned in the survival times to carry us through to thriving.
