Anna is clinical psychologist who provides services using a justice-oriented, trauma-informed, and holistic lens. Areas of focus include identity (ethnicity, culture, gender expression, sexual orientation), relationships (family, social, romantic), and mind-body connection. Anna has a background in community and college mental health and centers practices that value healing, resiliency, and the collective.
Anna's approach to therapy is informed, intuitive, and eclectic. She incorporates mindfulness, connection to body (Trauma Resiliency Model), and attention to different emotional parts (Internal Family Systems) to increase awareness of unconscious processes that may be impacting current habits and keeping one disconnected from self and others. Anna's process is collaborative, compassionate, curious, and direct.
Essential to the therapy process is to create a safe relationship that supports your deep and honest exploration, so that you can reconnect to your inner self and have the option to connect to the world around you in ways that feel more genuine and meaningful. Therapy will be interwoven with practices geared towards increasing acceptance, tolerance of uncertainty, and compassion towards oneself and others.
