Anita "tunes into me" and directs me to resources, methods and perspectives that help me see me in a much bigger light than just my problems. As a result, I am able to dig myself out of spinning around in my problems. I love the way she finds things for me to DO that help me so much.

Anita has been so nourishing to my self esteem and self. She allows me to be unapologetically myself, and makes sure I know that I am enough. She is a very good listener and will make sure she understands what you are saying before proceeding on with the conversation. I personally love her and tell my family and friends about her.

“When you’re ready the teacher will appear”. That’s what comes to mind when I think of Anita. She is phenomenal at what she does. The space she creates allows you to feel safe to do the work. Beyond grateful for our time together. The nuggets she gave me I will carry and use forever

Anita did such a great job helping me out when I hit a rough patch! She listened to where I was at and did an outstanding job helping me re-frame my circumstances and get a better perspective about my situation.

Beyond grateful to have been paired with Anita. She is by far the best therapist I’ve had. I leave our sessions feeling energized and motivated, which is rare since therapy in the past used to make me feel drained … but not with Anita! She is so knowledgeable and gives great “homework” that also act as tools for me to help manage my anxiety. I really can’t say enough great things about her. I finally feel a sense of relief since meeting with her and I look forward to it every week because of how productive our sessions are :). Very thankful.
