About Anna
Anna uses simple, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and somatic techniques to help clients notice thoughts, emotions, and body signals. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and on small steps clients can take between meetings.
Her practice emphasizes an inclusive, trauma-informed stance and follows Health at Every Size and fat-positive values. That means attention to body image, eating and food-related issues, and the ways shame and guilt show up in daily life. She also supports people facing workplace strain and challenges tied to family of origin and communication problems.
Anna has four years of clinical experience across private practice and community mental health settings. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from Metropolitan State University and holds the LCSW and CSW credentials. Her approach is collaborative - she works with clients to set goals and pick strategies that fit their lives.
For people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected, Anna offers grounded, compassionate support to help rebuild connection with self and with others.
