I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. My clients are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and used to holding a lot; whether that’s in their careers, relationships, or families of origin. I tend to lead with curiosity always.. and my style is warm, present, and down-to-earth. I show up fully with you so you don’t feel like just another number in a system, but a person whose story deserves to be heard and honored.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive session where you can simply breathe and be yourself. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you hope to get out of therapy, and what support looks like for you right now.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach blends EMDR (when appropriate) and compassion-focused practices. What stands out is the depth and gentleness of the work... we combine practical skills with deeper emotional healing. I’m fully present, helping you feel grounded while also guiding you through the layers beneath anxiety, shame, and self-doubt.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. My clients are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and used to holding a lot; whether that’s in their careers, relationships, or families of origin. Many have spent years being the dependable one, the caretaker, or the person who keeps everything together on the outside while quietly struggling internally. They’re often seeking a space where they can slow down, better understand themselves, and begin healing patterns rooted in stress, overwhelm, emotional pain, or past experiences.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I use EMDR to help the client reprocess distressing memories or triggers that may be contributing to her panic attacks and anxiety. By guiding her through bilateral stimulation, I can help reduce the emotional intensity of these experiences and support calmer responses in the present.

Compassion Focused

Compassion-focused therapy is helpful if you’re dealing with self-criticism, shame, or depression by teaching you how to develop a more supportive and kind inner voice. It helps calm the threat system in your brain and builds emotional resilience through practicing self-compassion.

I look forward to my sessions with Anabel. She is doesn’t only hear what I have to say but she makes me feel empowered to be the best version of myself. She makes me feel that I can reach my ultimate potential. And I always look forward to sharing with her. I don’t feel ashamed to tell her if I have been slacking. She always gives me the proper guidance to continue on my journey.
