My clients want to make changes in their lives. They believe that healing is possible for both body and mind. When they feel safe enough, they bravely share the old stories about themselves and the no-longer-helpful ways of dealing with the world that kept them feeling sick or stuck. They keep showing up when the going gets rough, because they’ve seen for themselves that they can trust the process, and they’re willing to keep working it until it works, one day at a time.

I used to think therapy was just about talking through problems until they went away. Then I realized it's actually about becoming the kind of person who can handle whatever life throws at them. I'm Anna, an MSW student at UIC with a psychology background and a collection of statement earrings that probably says more about my personality than my degree does. Growing up in Boston taught me that authenticity matters more than having all the right answers.
