(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m strengths based, compassion centered, and family systems oriented. Are you part of the “sandwich generation” (caring for elders as well as children)? Are you existentially struggling with some kind of loss? What are the tools you already have to bring you JOY? How can we help you negotiate bringing your best self forward?
We’ll introduce ourselves, go over confidentiality, and then dive into what goals you have indicated.
I listen deeply and with my heart. I enjoy seeing clients realize their importance and self worth in this world.
Thoughtful, contemplative, wanting to grow and expand, learning flexibility as well as setting boundaries.
Strength-Based
I believe you have a little kernel of truth that is whispering to you the tools and skills you have to deal with current circumstances. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of time to unpack where those skills are residing!
Narrative
As humans, we are story tellers— it gives us a past, makes meaning for the present, and gives us hope for the future— whether you are dreaming or reframing or solidifying a sense of purpose hood. What gives your life meaning?
Grief Therapy
Having worked in hospice for 15+ years, I am sensitive to the many griefs that people carry— whether it’s disenfranchised grief, anticipatory grief, grief due to a loss, or times of transition.
Supportive
My therapeutic work is client centered-- you're in the driver's seat!-- and it's my role to support you in your growth and healing.

I’ve been working with Ana and I can genuinely say it’s been life-changing. From our very first session, they created a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where I felt supported. Their insight, patience&gentle guidance have helped me work through challenges I never thought I’d be able to face,and they’ve given me tools that continue to make a meaningful impact on my life. I’m grateful for the work we’ve done and would recommend them to anyone seeking a thoughtful&truly caring therapist
