Frequently rebooked
Hello!! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master's Degree from the University of Southern California in Clinical Social Work with a sub-concentration in Military Social Work. I currently hold a certification as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional working towards full certification as a Sex Therapist for individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with clients of all ages who suffer from complex trauma and PTSD.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session we will begin the process of getting to know each other while identifying reasons that have brought you to therapy and possible goals you are seeking to accomplish.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I make every effort to provide an environment each individual feels safe and comfortable while taking a person-centered approach helping clients safely process issues without judgement while utilizing their strengths to achieve their personal goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My experience in the mental health field includes working with at risk youth, individuals reintegrating into society, Veterans, Active-duty members and their dependents. Areas of focus include life transitions, trauma, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders and sexual issues.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
Trauma Informed Care
It is a lens through which the therapist views their clients, taking into account the impact of trauma on emotions, regulation, and behavior.
Sex Therapy
Whether it is with individuals or couples adding this type of treatment can be vital to an persons happiness and fulfillment. As a clinician I enjoy helping others navigate intimacy issues emotional and sexual. There is a wide variety of topics that can be incorporated with intimacy complications, whether discovering desire again, working through sexual trauma and discovering what your new normal is sexually or just learning how to be more comfortable speaking about sexual topics with your partner.

She really sit out to me because she listened to a lot of what I had to say and asked my coping mechanisms and we set a plan for the future so I will be seeing her every week and I’m really excited to meet with her.

There is no question that as I continue my visit with Anna that I know I made the right choice for me with the right type of person that understands me as well. Understanding with Anna comes in the form of military experience and mindset, but it also comes with the no holds barred Relationship that veterans have with each other and knowing how to speak the language. There’s never been a time that I’ve been able to express certain subjects until I started working with. She is priceless.

For a first meeting I was very happy with the choice I made in choosing Anna. Rapport was established and I feel like it was easy to be open with her. I look forward to future meetings.
