Living with chronic illness, sensory challenges, or neurodivergence can be isolating when others don't see your struggle.

My approach helps you develop practical tools to navigate daily challenges while honoring both your limitations and your deepest values. Together, we'll find ways to expand your world rather than letting your condition shrink it.

My goal as a therapist is to build a relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable to share their most vulnerable feelings. My work is shaped by both my professional background as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and my lived experience as a biracial woman with roots in an immigrant family. I specialize in supporting adults and young adults living with chronic conditions, neurodivergence (including ADHD), and identity-related stress, particularly within the South Asian community.

I work with clients who are struggling with life after cancer or who are living with chronic illness or pain.
After a medical diagnosis most of the focus is on curing the patient. Medical teams often don't spend much time helping their patients adjust to a difference in their abilities of daily living, the stress on relationships, changes in appearance, or any of the many other adjustments people have to make. When treatment is finished it can feel like freedom, but for many it feels as if you've been dropped. No one wants to talk about what you've been through or they expect you to be all better just like before. This can leave someone feeling hollow and broken. It doesn't have to stay that way.

Sex shouldn’t hurt — but for many women, it does. If intimacy feels painful, tense, or overwhelming, you may feel broken, ashamed, or scared. Maybe you’ve been told to “just relax” or that it’s all in your head, but that advice hasn’t worked — and it has left you anxious, frustrated, and disconnected. Many women carry this diagnosis silently, but you don’t have to anymore

So many of us try to “fix” ourselves before we’ve even paused to understand who we truly are. But here’s the truth: it’s only when we become fully ourselves—when we see, accept, and honor the person we already are—that real transformation begins. In Anna's practice, you’re invited to show up exactly as you are because carrying shame and distrust on your shoulders or feeling the need to hide for whatever reason can feel like living with a weight no one else can see—one that impacts how you think, feel, and connect with others. Her many life experiences taught her the importance of deep compassion, and the value of truly being heard.

I also see individuals managing chronic illness.
I have found myself with a lot of “highly self-aware” clients who tend to be big thinkers, and I work with this population to connect to the body and the nervous system in a way that may not always mirror traditional talk therapy. I value a somatic (body-based) approach just as much as a cognitive (thinking-based) approach. My therapeutic approach also draws from Humanistic and attachment theory, always through a trauma-informed lens. I take a holistic view, addressing the mind, body, and spirit, and often use somatic interventions to support nervous system healing.

You're feeling disconnected, like life as you're living it has lost purpose and meaning. It's even hard to name the exact discomfort and pain.

You just know the way you move through the world isn't working anymore. You're ready to reconnect with who you know yourself to be. Together, we'll listen deeply to what eludes you. Making space for life—as it is in the here and now—opens a door toward a future full of vibrant possibilities, gently waiting for you to arrive.

Feeling constantly overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in your head—even when life looks “fine” on the outside—can be incredibly draining. Many adults reach out when stress, anxiety, or major life changes start to feel unmanageable. Therapy can offer a steady, supportive space to slow things down, regain clarity, and build tools that actually help you cope day to day.

Chronic Illness Therapists
How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
