Treatment with Anna
No matter how difficult your journey may seem, I believe that with the right guidance, hope can spark the changes needed to lead a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
I am committed to walking alongside you as you rediscover resilience, heal, and move forward with a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported.
As each person is uniquely different, and no single therapeutic approach fits all, I tailor my practice to meet your specific needs and values.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on many therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Unified Protocol (UP) in order to empower my clients to reclaim their lives.
As a therapist, I believe in the importance of setting meaningful goals and working collaboratively to achieve them. I value the process of identifying strengths and creating actionable plans to find solutions to your problems.
