It is not uncommon for clients to tell me, "This is the first time I'm telling this to anyone..."
I consider it a great honor to hold space for individuals to makes sense of difficult experiences and emotions, while also connecting with their greatest strengths and desires. I use well-researched therapy methods to help my clients boost coping during life's most stressful periods and transitions. Above all else, I prioritize my ability to listen, really listen, to my clients deepest desires and wishes to be who they really are.
Tell me: What changes would you like to see in your life?
I'm here.
Warmly,
Anna
"Anna has the intangible skills that help individuals feel really LISTENED to. I feel that therapy is often about goodness of fit--that is--feeling comfortable and safe with your clinician. Anna makes ME feel safe. She has a deft touch with people and she's not afraid to ask hard questions or sit with pain and sadness." - Referring therapist
