I am a Licensed Profession Counselor (LPC) and a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). I have been serving individuals, couples, and families with mental health and substance abuse issues for over 25 years. (As they say, I've been around the block a few times.) I have worked with individuals of varying ages, from a variety of cultural and ethnic origins, and social sectors. Some of the issues people have struggled with include: depression and anxiety, grieve and loss, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem and confidence issues, career and academic challenges, family of origin and parenting issues, gender identify, bullying, as well as concerns about substance abuse.
I am intuitive and compassionate and practice active listening without judgment. People do not need labels that are oft not helpful. The strategies I might employ I pull from Client-Centered therapy, Solution-Based therapy, Cognitive-Based therapy (CBT), as well Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy does not need to be a life long venture. Most people, it seems, simply run into a bump in the road and benefit from another perspective. I believe it is the healthy ones who know they need some assistance and ask for help; it is the sick individuals that believe it is everyone else that needs help.
I look forward to assisting anyone that wants to be heard and wants to empower themselves to make changes to enhance their mental health.

I think Anna is wonderful she has helped me alot. She understands what I'm talking about and always helps me find the best ways to deal with everything. I always look forward to our session. I have been doing so much better than I ever have. I am so happy I found Anna and Betterhelp.

It’s taken me a long time to write this review. Not because I don’t have a lot to say about Anna, but more so because I can’t adequately find the wording to explain what a gem of a professional and human-being she is. I came onto this platform hesitant and skeptical. Yet here I am, a year and a half later, and I couldn’t imagine my routine or my life without Anna. She has taught me so much, and is consistently there for me. She is beyond what schooling and books could ever teach—she is personable, professional, empathetic, helpful, and above all, human. I love her and I’m so happy this platform brought our lives together! She deserves all of the recognition and praise!

I feel very safe, heard, seen and respected with Anna. She has been a light in my life and I am very happy to have been connected with her. I am able to handle situations more confidently only after a couple visits. I look forward to more meets and conversations.
