Together we use the therapy space to co-create a space where you feel safe to show up exactly as you are. My approach centers on exploring your internal landscape—your emotions, values, patterns, and lived experiences—with curiosity and compassion. I believe in your innate capacity for growth, meaning, and self-understanding while attending to questions of purpose, meaning, freedom, and responsibility. I also incorporate elements of wilderness and nature-based therapy, drawing on the power of the natural world to support reflection, grounding, and deeper self-connection. Together, we work toward greater authenticity, clarity, and a more grounded connection to yourself and your life.

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 center my clients’ unique lived experiences, highlight their strengths, and feel it is a privilege to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

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 addition to my experience as a dedicated mental health therapist, I also have experience with the neuropsychological evaluation process and hold a continued passion for appreciating how our neurochemistry can impact our emotional states and behaviors. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, being active, and spending time outside.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with prior experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health settings. With a variety of experience, my passion is providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. Together, we will take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering you to reignite the best version of yourself. I enjoy incorporating aspects of DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.

Are you tired of craving peace and quiet, only to feel restless the moment you find it? Do you catch yourself questioning everything internally, even when you have what you need? These experiences can be signs of depression, anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. I help men, veterans, service members, and children reconnect with themselves, improve behaviors, and find the stability and clarity they and their families have been searching for.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I know firsthand how hard it can be to open up, especially to someone who doesn’t understand the culture, the pressure, or the unspoken expectations. I’ve been in the seat where therapy felt distant and disconnected. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to bridging that gap and making you feel understood from the start. 

Whether you're surviving the stress of your day-to-day, struggling with mental health, seeking more satisfaction in your relationships or career, needing to change and modify some behaviors, or simply trying to regain a sense of purpose, no matter the problem, I’ve got your back.
