Anna has been so amazing. I had been pretty "anti-therapy" but I instantly felt comfortable with her. She genuinely cares.

From the very first session, I knew Anna would help me. I felt very comfortable with her, even when talking about difficult topics. She asks the right questions and helps me to understand my thoughts and feelings when I don’t understand them myself. She has been a great neutral perspective who doesn’t just listen to me talk. She tells me when she thinks I’m right and isn’t afraid to tell me when I over-react to things based on my past trauma. This has helped me put things in perspective and work on triggers to become a better person with a healthier mindset. If you have any sort of anxiety or have gone through a traumatic situation and are looking for someone to really help you, Anna is the best.

Anna listens well to my concerns and gives feed-back that I may dislike but is in my best interest but is a positive. Honest and helpful.

Anna not only listens but hears you. As my first therapist ever she has shown me nothing but patience kindness and support. I can’t lie to her. I can’t thank her enough as well. Through years of thinking no one understands. She does.
