Eating disorders have the highest mortality of all psychiatric diagnoses. I'm a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. You aren't sick because you want to be (see Neurobiology.) The change we need to live healthy can seem more difficult than the pain. The emptiness of escapism, whether through restriction, drugs, alcohol, food, etc. obscures your potential. If it's not dangerous, you don't have to run. When you practice avoidance, you also avoid experiences producing self-trust, self-confidence and self-esteem. If you want to practice bravery, I'm here. I teach skills and assign homework. I'm willing to work as hard as you are.

Every couple has difficulty along the way - I would love to walk alongside you and help guide you through relational healing.

Welcome. Perhaps you know exactly why you're here. Perhaps you're contemplating.

Hello, I am Anna. As a mom, mental health professional, and disabled individual, I know how difficult the world and life can be and how hard it can be to ask for help. I see counseling as coming beside a person and assisting them to best help themselves. Counseling should be a partnership where the person is open, determined and willing to work and the clinician, in collaboration with them, directs the ship and supports them with the tools they need. Are you having a tough time with anxiety? Has your past held you back from your goals? Do feel lost trying to fill your life with "stuff" that never seems to help? Change is possible.
