Angela’s Faith
Angela felt called by God to pursue a counseling career while she was working in software design at a major petrochemical company. Although software design and counseling may seem worlds apart, they actually use some of the same skills: listening to the client in order to understand the big picture, analyzing the places where things are not working optimally, creating a plan to optimize where needed, and providing guidance and support to implement the plan.
More recently, she has been developing her connection with God through meditative drawing and painting activities. Several of her artworks are included on this website. She is excited about helping clients unlock their creativity through NeuroGraphica coaching.
She holds an evangelical Christian perspective on life. You do not have to share her beliefs in order to participate in counseling, but if that is an area of life that is important or of concern to you, Ms. Sarafin welcomes spiritual questions and conversations.
