I use a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and mindfulness practices to guide clients toward healing.

I have a compassionate, caring and genuine style and can help you identify underlying issues and learn skills to promote healing and a sense of well being.

I just had my first session with Anita...it was really amazing! I just felt this calm presence with her and I was able to just unload a lot of information on her. I fell confident she will help me continue my path to managing my mental health to be my best version. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for help.
