Hi, I'm Anna.
I'm so glad you found your way here. I work with folks who are feeling overwhelmed and under-resourced, often frustrated that they can't just "figure it out". There is real pain in that experience. And there is also hope. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or difficulty with life transitions, you deserve time to talk through what you're going through with someone who cares and who can offer an objective perspective. Whether you have already identified your unhelpful patterns or need help uncovering them, my goal is to help you see how capable you truly are.

I support women who are struggling adjusting with motherhood due to postpartum anxiety, overstimulation, difficulty managing day-to-day demands, parenting, empty nesting or simply just want to be a present mother.
With a woman-centered and maternal-centered approach, I create a space where healing happens on your terms, at your pace. Together, we'll honor your story, nurture your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, connected, and authentically yours. I help women navigate pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood; adjust to life transitions across a women’s lifespan; and cultivate wellness in their family, marriage and home.
I founded Guiding Lantern in 2022 during my own early motherhood journey, inspired by a deep belief that women heal best when they feel seen, supported, and connected.

Are you struggling with any intense emotions or transitions in your life? Is your child having behavioral or emotional difficulties? Life can be hard and it is important to learn healthy management of overwhelming emotions during any phase of life. When children act out behaviorally this typically stems from underlying emotions they struggle to manage appropriately. I am passionate about helping adults and children work through their difficulties whether this be anger, depression, anxiety, ADHD, divorce, or other issues.

It's very common in life to feel stuck, like you're trudging up a never-ending hill through quicksand as you watch others just skate on by. When our world feels out of our control, we may feel overwhelmed and a lot of our fears and insecurities can come out. Am I doing this right? Why won't this work? Am I enough? I work with clients to empower them to explore and find decisions that work for them.

You may have found yourself here because something isn't working the way it used to. You may have spent a lot of time trying to figure things out on your own. Perhaps you've reached a point where something isn't working the way it used to. You find yourself facing the same challenges, asking the same questions, or carrying the same weight despite your best efforts to move forward. Or perhaps nothing is obviously wrong, but you have a sense that something needs attention and you're ready to understand it more fully. Sometimes the goal isn't finding more answers-it's asking different questions.

I have been practicing as a therapist for more than 7 years and I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I work with adolescents 12+ and with adults of all ages. In addition to individual therapy, I also work with couples and families on a wide variety of topics. I like to say that I had a “short,” 14 year career in the Air Force before deciding to become a social worker. After separating from the Air Force, I attended UT Austin and earned my MSSW in my journey to becoming a licensed social worker. My career had the opportunity to come full circle, and I now teach graduate-level social work courses at UT Austin!
