Great to meet you!

Life can be difficult and, at times, feel overwhelming. When navigating depression, anxiety, or trauma, our perspective can become blurred, making it hard to see a way forward.

Hi there, my name is Ana Rivera and I have 9+ years of experience helping adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, as well as those going through life transitions. During these moments, having someone who is nonjudgmental and understanding can make a meaningful difference. I believe we are all capable of growth and everyone deserves a life filled with hope, purpose, and a sense of belonging.

My approach to therapy

My therapy approach is a collaborative non-judgemental approach. I am rooted in Emotionally-Focused Therapy which focuses on emotional response and how it impacts the way we interact with loved ones.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll begin exploring what’s bringing you in and the patterns you may be noticing in your emotions or relationships. I’ll help slow things down so we can better understand what’s happening beneath the surface. There’s no pressure to have the “right words”—we’ll work together to make sense of your experience in a way that feels safe and manageable.
