Hi, I’m Anna.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying anxiety, painful memories, intense emotions, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. You are brave for taking this first step.
I work with teens and adults who feel stuck in cycles they don’t want to keep repeating. You may be constantly overthinking, avoiding things that matter to you, feeling disconnected from your life, or struggling to trust yourself and others. You may have tried to “just push through,” only to find yourself feeling more exhausted, overwhelmed, or hopeless.
I’m so glad you’re here.
And there are also ways to learn something new. You can unlearn patterns that no longer serve you and build new ones that align with your values.
there are reasons you learned to cope the way you did.
If that sounds familiar, I want you to know this: you are not broken.
I support clients navigating:
- Depression
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Relationship Conflict
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Procrastination and avoidance
- Adjustment Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Self-harm
- Parenting teenagers
- Phobias
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Emotional regulation challenges

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, & evidence-based.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel validated and understood, but also a place where you learn practical tools to help you solve problems, regulate your emotions, and move toward the life you want.
I see therapy as a partnership. I’ll help you understand what’s maintaining the patterns you’re stuck in, create a plan that makes sense for your goals, and support you as you practice new ways of responding to your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences.
I strive to balance acceptance and change. You deserve support and validation, and you also deserve honest guidance that helps you grow.
Clinical Training
I graduated from La Salle University with my doctorate in clinical psychology in 2017, where I trained in evidence-based psychotherapy for a wide range of psychological concerns.
College Counseling
I completed practicum placements primarily in college counseling settings, where I developed a love for teaching young adults emotion regulation skills and helping trauma survivors find resilience and empowerment.
Specialized Experience
I completed my post-doctoral residency at an outpatient facility, where I further specialized in trauma, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders in teens and adults. I also gained substantial experience consulting with parents and family members on how to support teens and young adults.
Trauma + BPD
I am especially passionate about the intersection of childhood trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder, and helping clients understand the connection between past experiences and present-day struggles.
Therapy Modalities
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and mood disorders, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD.
Training + Expertice
THERAPY IS A SPACE TO DISCOVER grow, AND LEARN
We will work toward change in small, manageable steps, while also building a strong foundation of safety, trust, and collaboration. There may not be an exact timeline for when therapy ends. For some people, therapy lasts several months. For others, it may take longer. Usually, therapy naturally begins to wind down when symptoms improve, goals have been met, and you feel more confident using the tools you’ve built.
