Welcome! I’m Anna (she/her), an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. I believe that, even in difficult times, we all carry the potential to become the best version of ourselves.
With a person-centered and evidence-based approach, I strive to meet you where you are, providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for healing. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-esteem challenges, or conflicts around sexuality, I am committed to supporting and empowering you throughout your healing journey. Together, we will work toward greater resilience, self-understanding, and personal growth.
I am experienced working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples; I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for your personal growth. Currently, I am offering sessions exclusively via telehealth, ensuring accessibility and convenience. Healing is a journey we share, and together, day by day and moment by moment, we can navigate the process of growth and recovery.

As an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, I enjoy collaborating with people in their journey to improve their quality of life. I provide an empathic space for people to feel comfortable and supported in sharing their stories. I am an integrative therapist using multiple modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
I am also a firm believer in mindfulness-based therapies that emphasize the mind-body connection to encourage self-love and self-care. When you're ready to start your wellness journey, feel free to contact me to schedule a consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you!
