Anna takes a collaborative, gentle approach, supporting clients in making sense of their experiences and becoming curious about the parts of themselves that may feel stuck, shamed, or at odds with one another. As these parts are met with greater understanding and compassion, clients often feel less stuck in shame, frustration, and defeat, and are able to move toward hope and change.

Anna integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic, somatic, relational, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches into her work. Her background includes caregiving, case management, and crisis advocacy work with survivors of intimate partner, gender-based, and sexual trauma, which guides her sensitive approach to care.
