My name is Anna and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and I specialize in Clinical Complex Trauma with children, teens and adults. I have also worked with various mood disorders and helping many through difficult phases in life. I have worked with individuals for about 5 years, both online and in private practice. My passion is to help those who have hit a rough patch and need help making their way to the other side.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with individuals from all walks of life, I am able to provide a genuine experience with the empathy and guidance needed to cope with life stressors.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is a combination of acceptance and mindfulness practices, and commitment and behavior change practices to help people develop psychological flexibility. I have used this model for various clients needing help with committing to change in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT aims to help people improve their mental state by changing negative thought patterns and learning to solve problems in a more positive way. I have used this model with clients mostly as it is a common approach to various issues people face.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is a treatment model that helps children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and their caregivers. TF-CBT is based on cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic principles, and uses a combination of techniques and interventions that are sensitive to trauma. I have 5 years working with this specialty and I am certified in this therapy model.
Multicultural
Multicultural is a therapeutic approach that considers the role of culture in a person's mental health and life events. When working with clients, the aim is to understand how cultural and identity issues affect a person and their relationship with counseling.
Gender-affirming therapy
Gender-affirming therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps children and young people with gender dysphoria develop their authentic gender identity. I have worked with young children and teens to ensure a safe space for them and family during transition period.
