Life can be challenging! Feelings of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, anger, and exhaustion can decrease joy and a sense of purpose in life. Therapy can help you regain your footing and build the life you desire. I have been working as a therapist and addiction counselor for over ten years to assist with anger management, PTSD/Trauma, mood management, wellness, relationship building, and addictions. My goal is always to look for your strengths and build a treatment plan based on your goals and desired outcomes. I use EMDR to process trauma/PTSD issues and addictions, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.

You've overcome trauma in your life. You are successful, but new changes are bringing up emotions that are difficult to manage. Maybe they are emotions that you haven't felt in awhile and you need a safe place to process them. Maybe you've felt them, but your current coping skills are no longer working. You are ready for relief from these emotions. You're ready to let go of the past and start this new chapter with ease, but the people who care about you want to help, but don't know how. You are ready to rewrite your story and be confident in yourself and your relationships.

Hi! I am Anna (: I specialize in treating depression, social anxiety, and anger management. I am passionate about working with individuals who are struggling with social anxiety. Initiating conversations, making small talk, and attending social events can feel daunting. Constantly worrying about saying or doing something wrong can make it hard to take the social risks needed to feel connected. I help clients get back into the connection-making game by embracing awkward moments and creating connections built on authenticity.

When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Many of us have endured experiences that leave us feeling misunderstood or defeated. The pain we experience can lead to an overall sense of disconnectedness from others and from our very selves. There is great power in sharing our stories within an environment of empathy and safety, where we can be curious together about how the past has impacted the present. To feel understood can be the first pathway to healing.

I'm here to help. Seriously. My job is to allow you to work through whatever you have going on. I utilize your strengths, your interests and your abilities to move you to where you want to be. Sometimes it starts with assisting you to identify what you want differently, what do you expect, what do you not want and we both develop a way to meet your goal. I want you to want change, want clarification and motivate you to reach your goal together. I can be flexible and meet you where you are in your stage of change and we can go from there. I can not do the work for you, but I can support you. As I wrote earlier, I'm here to help.

Do you ever feel stressed or overwhelmed by others' expectations? Do you sometimes struggle to feel fully engaged with life? Battling with an addiction or eating disorder is a painful process that is driven by secrecy and control. My goal is to help break down these walls and bring what hides in the darkness into the light in a nonjudgmental, caring, and compassionate manner so you can begin to see a different way of living. I truly believe only when you feel enough support and safety are you able to begin making choices for health and recovery.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become overwhelming.
