More about Anna
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and families. I have a client centered approach using a combination of mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I believe in working alongside clients to identify their needs and goals and empowering them to make the changes necessary to meet them.
I have worked primarily with mood disorders, grief and loss, chronic illness, parenting struggles, and infertility and individuals and couples trying to conceive.
I have a warm, compassionate style and believe in the importance of emotional attunement and rapport in building a therapeutic relationship.
It can be incredibly difficult to verbalize a need for help and creating a space that feels safe and hopeful, is of the utmost important to me.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I look forward to our session on Sunday
One of my favorite things about Anna is she provides me with tools to help me combat my anxiety and depression in my everyday life. I've had therapists in the past keep mostly silent for the hour-long session, but Anna engages with me and offers feedback and ideas for whatever I'm going through. I find this so helpful!
Such a compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional person. Highly recommended!
Anna is personable, attentive and asks incisive questions. Recommended!
