Great to meet you!

I’m Anita, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults of all ages navigate life’s challenges. Everyone has a story, and the difficult parts are often hidden away or overlooked. In my practice, I provide a safe and inclusive space where we can explore your history, values, and aspirations without fear of judgment. Together, we will work to gain a deeper understanding of yourself to help you feel grounded, empowered, and in control.

My approach to therapy

I often work well with clients experiencing:

Anxiety:

  • Racing thoughts
  • Perfectionism
  • Overwhelming concern with how others see you
  • Restlessness
  • Fatigue
  • Social isolation

Depression:

  • Extreme sadness
  • Low energy/motivation
  • Lack of interest/apathy
  • Poor or excessive sleep
  • Loss of control
  • Irritability

Mood Disorders:

  • Unexplained bursts of energy
  • Risky behaviors
  • Substance use
  • Extreme attachment
  • Unhealthy relationship patterns

What you can expect from me

During first sessions, I'll take time to hear your story—what brings you to therapy and, more importantly, why now. From there, we will focus on understanding your thoughts, feeling and actions, while developing healthy routines, self-care practices, and positive attachments. Although seeking help can be intimidating, the results can be life-changing. If you feel like I may be the right fit for your needs, I encourage you to reach out. It would be my privilege to help guide and support you.
