Feeling safe with others is probably the most critical aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." - Bessel Van Der Kolk.
I believe that we all deserve relationships that we feel emotionally safety within. Relationships where we can get in touch with our emotions and feel truly felt by another person. I believe in the power of sharing our stories and being seen and "feeling with" another human being can be an incredibly healing experience. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work(SWC).
As a therapist, I strive to provide others with outside insight, helpful information, and empathy to help you normalize your struggles. I bring good listening skills, and a little gentle humor to each session. My practice is rooted in attachment theory and pulls on IFS and Narrative work. I am happy to work with clients who have a variety of challenges including- relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and LGBTQ support!
"Recovery can only take place within the context of relationships; it cannot occur within isolation." -Judith Herman
Something about the way you're living doesn't feel right — maybe you can't quite name it yet, but you know it's there. That's exactly where we start. I specialize in working with women (ages 15+), helping my clients untangle what's not working and get back to enjoying their lives and relationships.
My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and whole life wellness — because you're not just a set of symptoms, you're a whole person. My practice is grounded in secular, evidence-based modalities; if faith-based or spiritually integrated counseling is important to you, I'd encourage you to seek a therapist who specializes in that area to ensure the best fit.
A Colorado native, I double majored in Psychology and Acting at CU Boulder, and earned my Master's in Counseling from Adams State University. I live in Boulder County with my husband, three dogs, and one cat — and when I'm not in session, you'll find me hiking, reading crime dramas, doing home projects, traveling, or volunteering with local dog rescues. 🐾
Please note: the intake session time you select will be your standing appointment slot for all future sessions. Switching times cannot be guaranteed, as additional openings may not be available.
One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation.
My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process; it won't happen overnight.
I am committed to assisting you in creating that change for yourself. I believe you possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change, and I will assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness. In therapy, many issues are openly discussed, but sex and sexual issues can be uncomfortable topics for many clients. Yet, many people have sexual issues that need to be resolved for life to be as fulfilling as it can be.
I am particularly passionate about working with women who are struggling with intimacy of any kind and are dedicated to improving this area of their lives. I also enjoy working with couples to help them identify the underlying issues causing strife in their relationships, rebuilding after infidelity, or increasing their ability to understand one another in order to help them design a marriage they can confidently pursue for a lifetime. I have been accepted into the Modern Sex Therapy Institute’s Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology Program, and I am excited to use this knowledge in my work with you!
Hello and welcome to your healing journey! My name is Anna, and I am a licensed social worker with 6 years of experience working in the field of mental health. In my practice, I value collaboration, curiosity, and compassion in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship where healing and growth can flourish.

I wholeheartedly believe that every person holds the capacity within them to forge meaningful pathways towards change and find your calm amid life’s storms. I have worked with individuals of all ages in a variety of settings including hospitals, community-based clinics, and private practice. I have extensive experience working with teenagers and young adults and am well versed in the unique challenges present in these life stages.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, being active, and spending time outside.
As a graduate of Colorado State University-Pueblo in May 2025, I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in August 2025. I am also a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and a Social Work Candidate (SWC). With over 7 years of experience in human services, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, supporting families involved with the Department of Human Services as a life skills worker. Additionally, I spent a year providing clinical services as a therapist during my final year of school. Working in this field has allowed me to truly appreciate the significance of mental health stability, particularly during difficult life transitions. I understand that life’s obstacles can feel overwhelming at times, making the path forward seem daunting. It’s completely normal to feel as though you’re carrying a heavy burden, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
Healthy communication and exploring the next steps in your life can be empowering and essential for healing, whether you are dealing with depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, stress, trauma, maladaptive behaviors, or concerns about self-esteem. My aim is to collaborate with you, providing support and understanding as we work together. I am dedicated to helping you raise awareness around your feelings and experiences, equipping you with therapeutic tools to foster growth in the areas that matter most to you. I am passionate about using evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused brief therapy, to help you overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship with you. Together, we can embark on this journey toward healing and positive change, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.
