My name is Anna (she/her). I am warm, curious and relational. I want our sessions to be a safe place to recognize patterns, learn new skills, explore your history, heal and create a meaningful future. 

What I’m Passionate About

I love helping people see themselves with resilience and compassion and act from a more empowered stance. Therapy offers an incredible space to wrestle with patterns, engage with trauma and practice new ways of behaving. It's an honor to show up to do this work and I look forward to it all the time. I am always learning, reading and thinking about how to create a practice that meets my clients' needs and reflects sound evidence. Outside of the office, most of my time is spent caring for my three young kids. I'm an avid reader and neighborhood volunteer, too.

My Therapy Style

My orientation to the project of therapy is critically informed by liberation theory and systems theory. The systems that socialize us are deeply important when it comes to understanding our suffering. So are those that we live with day in and day out in our present.

Good therapy helps us identify how systems are showing up in our body and our relationships as a means of mapping how to get free. My therapy practice critically explores patriarchy, capitalism, sexism, fatphobia, cis/heteronormativity, etc and how they are showing up in our thinking and behavior. Pairing this practice with skills (mindfulness, DBT and ACT tools, self-compassion, sacred rage, and behavior activation practices) helps us best support your healing and pursuit of values driven living, emotion expression and understanding your needs. 

This is serious work, and we can also do it with warmth, humor, celebration, and lots of tea drinking, too :)
