Relationships form the foundation of our emotional lives, shaping how we understand ourselves, connect with others, and experience safety and fulfillment in the world. Each relationship leaves an imprint, influencing the patterns we carry into love, work, family, and our relationship with ourselves.
My passion is helping young adults understand these patterns and reshape their stories in ways that foster greater security, authenticity, and growth. Whether you are healing from trauma or seeking healthier, more fulfilling relationships, therapy can help you reconnect with a more grounded, confident, and empowered sense of self.

Hi, I am Anna! I would love to work with you. I believe that everyone deserves a life of freedom, self-expression, and joy.

I am an empathic listener and skilled practitioner who genuinely cares. My therapeutic approach is sensitive, kind, and also, direct.

You feel intense emotions, quick anger, or a need to shut down to protect yourself.
I help people who have been judged for how they react instead of WHY they react. Together, we slow everything down and look at what is happening beneath the surface so you can feel more steady and less controlled by the moment. My style is calm and honest, giving you space to understand yourself and build healthier ways to cope.

You might look like you have it together but internally, you feel anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you thought you would have outgrown by now. Maybe you overthink every interaction, replay conversations long after they end, or struggle to quiet your mind at night. A lot of the men I work with have never really talked to anyone about this stuff. They're high-functioning, self-aware enough to know something needs to change and skeptical enough to need a therapist who's going to be direct with them. That's where I come in.

Are you feeling stretched thin, exhausted by the demands of a high-pressure career, or simply "stuck" in a cycle of worry and low motivation? Whether it’s the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the overwhelming drain of professional burnout, these challenges can make daily life feel like an uphill battle. Often, we turn to quick fixes—such as substances, gambling, or digital distractions—just to numb the stress, only to find ourselves feeling more disconnected than before. If you feel like you’re losing your sense of self or simply surviving rather than thriving, you don’t have to navigate that path alone.

Something isn't working anymore. Maybe it's a relationship, a loss, a pattern that keeps repeating - or a sense that you want more from your life. Therapy creates space to slow down, share your thoughts, and figure out what's actually going on.

I work with adults, couples, families, and groups across diverse backgrounds and identities. I am committed to creating a space where all parts of you are welcomed and respected. I explore the impact of living in a society that can make it difficult to feel connected to yourself and to others. I also value the opportunity to partner with clients who are in the process of discovering their voice, experiencing a personal evolution, or navigating significant life transitions. A particular joy of mine is working with couples and families who are searching for honest and vulnerable ways to connect with one another.

Many of those I work with come to counseling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, anger, obsessiveness, relationship problems, or overwhelming or destabilizing emotions.
Right now, you're probably in one of a few different head-spaces. Maybe you've been dealing with something on your own a long time, and now you're looking for help. Or, you have the sense that something is off, and you're considering your options. Maybe things have never been worse, and you feel like you're drowning in it. In any case, you've likely noticed that persisting in a private, internal struggle is very challenging and lonely.

Life doesn’t come with a manual and if it did we still might get a little lost. Let’s be honest, life can be a rollercoaster. Sometimes you’re thriving, other times you’re up at 2am googling “how to get my life together”. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just need someone to help you untangle the chaos of life, I’m here for you. As a therapist, I believe in creating a space where you can be real, feel heard, and actually work through what’s weighing on you or maybe even stop overanalyzing that one conversation from three years ago. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical I believe humor and healing go hand in hand.

Therapy isn’t about performing insight. It’s about learning how to respond to your life differently.
A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who are tired of repeating the same patterns, in relationships, at work, or in how they speak to themselves. You may understand why you do what you do, but that understanding hasn’t necessarily translated into change. That’s where the work begins.

As a person, I believe we’re all doing our best, given our identities, histories, and environments. As a clinician, I believe therapy is a collaborative space for transforming our best efforts into our best selves. Together, we explore how these efforts inform and impact our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and ways of relating. When parts of ourselves remain hidden or disconnected, we often develop coping strategies that don’t serve us. By uncovering all of who we are, we discover all we can become.

I'm a seasoned psychotherapist with more than 30 years' experience. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which you can freely explore whatever has felt dissatisfying, obsolete, self-defeating or even toxic in your life. Maybe you’re seeking to improve the way you've responded to transitions or traumas, whether recently or many years ago. Maybe you want to figure out how to “jettison” habits, relationships or lifestyles that no longer work for you. Or maybe you want to break free from repeating cycles or patterns that haven’t served you successfully in the past.

Who’s in the room with me? Men who feel lonely, isolated, unseen, and unheard in their relationships; Women burdened by silent emotional labor and relational over-functioning; People navigating relationship issues, difficult break-ups, or seeking a clearer sense of self; and couples looking to move beyond surface tension, address deeper issues, and build more resilient relationships. Whether individually or as a couple, we’ll uncover what’s hidden, why it’s protected, and new ways to give and receive. This isn’t about fixing someone; it’s about understanding and building empathy.
