Hi I am Anita. Are you ready to talk with someone who can help you problem solve? I have 20+ years of experience and am skilled in helping people put the pieces of the puzzle together to gain more insight and recognize patterns that contribute to feeling stuck or helpless. Have you been feeling disconnected, or stressed, had trouble sleeping, or noticed difficulty keeping up with your routine? Whether these issues have started recently, or have plagued you for years, I am here to help. I will partner with you to help you identify strategies that are already working well for you, and I will help you find time to implement new techniques that will make life easier into your daily schedule.

I have 20+ years of experience and am skilled in helping people put the pieces of the puzzle together to gain more insight and recognize patterns that contribute to feeling stuck or helpless.

I can help you have a better understanding of where your struggles might originate and can help you build skills to overcome them.

First session

In our first session together, I will answer any questions you might have about me or the therapy process. My hope is that we would have an opportunity to get to know each other a little and begin to set some goals for treatment. I also want you to feel comfortable determining if I will be a good fit for you and your needs.

Strengths

I love working with clients who have experienced trauma and now suffer from anxiety, panic, and depression. I am very open-minded and can discuss energy work, sleep issues, dreams, and a plethora of spiritual beliefs. I am comfortable working with individuals and systems. I consider myself to be poly and kink allied.

Ideal clients

I am comfortable working with individuals and systems. While I am happily married and monogamous, I am poly and kink allied. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and enjoy working with my fellow community members. I enjoy working with marginalized populations in general.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT as a framework to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of the ways their thoughts impact moods and behaviors.

Anita was great to talk to. She was very thoughtful and inquisitive, taking all of my concerns and troubles very seriously. She did a great job validating my feelings and helping me expand on and make connections with my issues/experiences

After only one session I feel safe enough to continue care and feel like after 2 years of searching I may have found a truly good therapist
