Hi, I'm Anna. Do you feel the stressors of life weighing you down? Are you feeling like the way you've usually coped is not working for you anymore? I help people struggling with life on life's terms. Sometimes it's the buildup of life's events. Sometimes it's the ghosts of the past still whispering criticisms. Sometimes it's incongruence between your values and your actions. Sometimes it's a culmination of all of these. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, anger, addictions...or all you know is you're not feeling well and could use someone to talk to, I'm here to help. You are just as deserving as anyone to have support, and are making a healthy choice to seek therapy. You can expect some humor and irreverence from me, as well as a compassionate ear with a skill set to help you heal. I specialize in complex situations, including mood, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. The symptoms within this context affect you as an individual, and likely your relationships. If I sound like the right therapist for you, let's work together. If not, good luck on your journeys. If you are interested in virtual or in-person groups, please see my website at: noviscounselingcollaborative.com
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Not my quote, but I like it. "Therapy isn't about feeling better, but to get better at feeling." Anyone working with me can expect to improve their internal landscape to make their own head a more pleasant place to live, while improving coping skills to deal with the external world.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care If you are interested in virtual or in-person groups, please see my website at noviscounselingcollaborative.com
