I use Best Practices such as CBT and Mindfulness for depression and anxiety, and for a deeper dive into relationships or developing creative potential, or coping with illness, I also employ Psychodynamic therapy.
Is depression or anxiety affecting your relationships or job? Do you need help developing your creative potential? Are you coping with illness? Using my experience as a UCLA family medicine psychologist and a published author/creative writing instructor, I've helped countless people navigate relationships, jobs, cope with illness, or launch their writing careers. I am uniquely equipped to help women, writers, and the chronically ill client. As a graduate of Howard University, I was trained to treat culturally diverse clients. Using a combination of CBT and Psychodynamic therapies, I treat adolescents, adults, and couples.

With mindfulness, together, we will transform past trauma into a personal vehicle to freedom and growth.
Life's journey can be intense and difficult at times. Painful experiences can throw us into a downward spiral of sufferance. Being able to process our struggles allow us to turn them into catalysts for a meaningful life. I offer a space of sincere empathy and emotional safety to explore, learn and grow from discomfort and unease. Through my clinical training I have learned different modalities that allow me to connect with the deepest available information from my clients, and from there I use my knowledge and experience to empower them to find their own truth.

I have extensive training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic psychotherapy and Mindfulness Meditation.
You feel frustrated. Perhaps you’ve lost hope. Maybe you feel broken or just fundamentally flawed. Now, imagine there’s a key that can unlock the door to healing. Psychedelic assisted therapy does just that. This form of therapy reveals our intrinsic capacity to awaken, heal and love. Psychedelic therapy is a powerful catalyst when conventional methods are not enough to break through whatever holds us back from living fully.

I will share my knowledge of neuroscience (and even engineering, if helpful!) with you to aid in true mindfulness: not mere breathing exercises or meditations, but a deep sense of self that will reduce anxiety and improve your relationships.
I work with you to find peace and meaning in your life. It might not be easy, but I believe it's possible for everyone. As society increasingly ignores the vital role relationships and emotions play in our daily choices, I strive to help you reconnect with those feelings and use them responsibly to enhance your relationships. We will work together to understand your role in the larger tapestry of life and feel more comfortable within it. To me, the real goal of therapy is to embrace our feelings and understand their usefulness, not squash them down in favor of mere logic like a Vulcan.

Trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and with a strong mindfulness practice, Anjannette has a unique ability to blend these two resulting in less anxiety and greater acceptance of client's true selves.
My clinical and research experience is largely based on mindfulness as a framework for psychotherapy. I have extensive experience working with anxiety and depression in adults, those suffering from chronic illness or pain, relationship and identity conflict, and those individuals overwhelmed with emotion or distant from their experience. My practice is goal oriented. I work intensely with clients to make changes in their personal lives, changes that they and others close to them can easily observe and acknowledge.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
