She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults within these programs. She has helped clients with depression, anxiety, skill building, boundary setting, identity/self-esteem, trauma, and other persistent mental illness. 

 

Anna is passionate about helping others. She uses empathy, genuineness, humor, and nonjudgmental techniques so the client can experience full acceptance, openness, and unconditional positive regard. As a counselor, she believes her role allows the client space to discover what makes them unique. Anna uses client centered and mindfulness-based approaches while prioritizing self-compassion and promoting Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model that "everyone is doing the best they can." She creates a non-judgmental space to work with clients to overcome challenges that disrupt daily living.
