We haven’t met yet, but I already know you are brave. Taking the first step towards caring for your mental and emotional health is no easy task! My goal is to walk alongside you on your healing journey and help you find your own power. I am committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space for all. I understand that therapy is not a ‘one size fits all’ practice. I promise to meet you where you are at and provide individually tailored care for your needs.

My philosophy is that humans are doing the best they can, with what they know, in the circumstances they are in. We all have a story to tell and one that has shaped us. Therapy can be a place where we process parts of our story that have been heavy and find new ways to live a more fulfilled life. I have supported individuals in navigating major life transitions, burnout, relationship issues, and trauma.

 

I may not always have immediate availability. If so, we’ll respond right away with some alternative therapists specialized to your needs!

 

Before coming to Better Life, Anna was helping adolescents and young adults with their mental health and well-being. Some of her prior work includes helping young people with their emotional and behavioral needs, teaching them anger management techniques, and helping them to live fulfilling, independent lives.

A little more about me:

When I am not in session, I enjoy caring for my robust houseplant collection, watercolor painting, resistance training, and racket sports (long before they were trendy! 😉). My emotional support movie is Shrek, and I have watched it more times than I’d like to admit. FaceTiming my nieces and cooking for my loved ones makes my heart full!
