About me

Greetings! I am a trauma-informed and evidence-based licensed professional psychotherapist and mental health service provider across the lifespan for over 11 years. I'm also a nurse practitioner. Recently, I decided I wanted more of a work/life balance, which led me to Betterhelp. I work with adults, couples and adolescents and am experienced in an array of issues and modalities that are personalized for each client. I am also a specialist in narcissistic abuse and navigating toxic relationships. You are the expert of your story and I'll partner with you to help navigate and hold the space. In therapy, you will gain inner strength, learn new coping mechanisms and develop tools to navigate your life. You'll have to do some sitting with uncomfortable feelings, taking inventory of where you are and where you'd like to be, and facing difficult thoughts and emotions. Therapy isn't for the faint of heart. A safe, non-judgmental environment is imperative. Once this process begins, you'll most likely find therapy fun and challenging as we work together to curate your life. Curating uses the garden analogy. It can solely apply to your inner-world, but it's usually a reflection of your life as a whole. We identify the emotions, situations, relationships and experiences that no longer serve you. It's about gaining inner self worth, setting boundaries, pouring into yourself, and evolving. The exceptional thing about curating is that together, we will open up new space in your life for yourself or for new experiences to grow. The most important thing in the beginning is having the empathy, guidance, and support you need to overcome. The goal is never just to resolve, but to use the resolution phase to grow. In my opinion, there are no coincidences. If you landed on my page, and you're still here, there's a reason! I realize how difficult this first step is but you did it, and that speaks volumes. I would love to partner with you, please reach out!

Anna has been such a great influence in my life. From losing a parent to anxiety and depression (and ruling out other things), she has tremendously improved my perspectives and mental help. i truly recommend her. she not only proceeds professionally in the therapy, but she’s also human and treats patients like equals, which means a lot to me. i don’t feel like a subject being observed, i feel like a human being listened to and genuinely trying to be helped.

Supportive, honest, and meets you where you are. I am really connecting with Anna and truly feel heard. She’s also willing to do the work outside of sessions, which I absolutely appreciate.

Anna is an amazing therapist. I am incredibly grateful for my therapist and the support she’s given me. From the very beginning, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt heard and understood. She’s helped me navigate some really difficult emotions and situations with patience, insight, and compassion. I’ve grown so much in ways I didn’t even realize I needed to. I truly feel stronger, more self-aware, and more equipped to handle life because of her guidance. I can’t recommend her enough

Going into therapy I was anxious on the whole process considering I didn’t really know what to focus on. I matched with Anna and immediately felt comfortable with her. She gives amazing feedback and is honest in the best way possible. Only a few sessions in and I feel like she’s helped me navigate some problem areas that I may not have recognized. Always seems to have my best interest in mind :)

Anna is awesome. I’ve seen her a couple of times now and every week I find myself looking forward to our sessions. She’s so easy to talk to and relatable. I have told all of my friends how much I love working with her!
