About Anna

Sometimes the hardest part of making a change is knowing where to begin. You may recognize that you want something to feel different in your life but feel anxious, uncertain, or unsure how to move forward. You may also be so focused on the challenges in front of you that it becomes difficult to recognize the strengths you already possess.

My goal is to create a space where you feel valued, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I believe therapy works best when you feel that you can speak openly, ask questions, and explore your experiences without fear of judgment. We can work together to better understand what you are navigating, identify what matters to you, and take meaningful steps toward the goals you want to pursue.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and a strengths-based approach to my work with clients. I believe each person has capabilities, experiences, and personal strengths that can support growth and change. Sometimes, we simply need help recognizing those strengths, reconnecting with them, and learning how to use them when life feels difficult.

I also value humor and often find that appropriate humor can help create connection and make therapy feel more comfortable and human. At the same time, every client is different. I want to understand what helps you feel most at ease and will work with you to create a therapeutic relationship that feels supportive and authentic.

My clinical interests include anxiety, personal growth, self-discovery, and building greater confidence when navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My role is not to decide what your life should look like. Instead, I hope to work alongside you as you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build confidence in your ability to move toward the life you want.

Taking the first step toward change can feel difficult. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start where you are and move forward together.
