Do you care deeply about your relationship but feel stuck—emotionally, sexually, or both? Maybe you’re struggling with desire discrepancy or low libido, sexual dysfunction or shame or anxiety, disconnect with your partner or yourself - whatever you're navigating, you deserve support in that place. That's why I'm here. I'm Dr. Anna (she/her/hers), a Licensed Psychologist & AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist specializing in couples counseling and sex therapy across the US via PsyPact. I work with people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, and relationships that actually feel good.
With specialized training in Sex Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help individuals and couples map the negative cycles keeping them stuck, so that sex and intimacy feel less like a battleground and more like a place of genuine connection. My approach is warm, direct, and non-judgmental. I welcome all identities, orientations, and relational
I know reaching out about the most intimate parts of your life takes courage. Whatever you're carrying — confusion, longing, grief, or just a quiet sense that something's off — it's enough of a reason to seek support. You don't have to have it all figured out. No pressure, just a conversation. I'd love to meet you.

Anna is whip smart, compassionate, and open - there is not much a client can throw at her that would phase her, or that she would judge. Her creativity and warmth make clients want to work with her. I could not recommend Anna as a therapist more highly.

I work primarily from an EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) lens, weaving in ACT, CBT, and psychoanalytic approaches based on what fits you best. My focus is always on sex and relationships — understanding what's blocking intimacy, breaking negative cycles, and helping you reconnect with your own needs and desires. If you're looking for support in that space, I'd love to talk.
