Hi there, I'm Anna. Are you looking for a culturally competent therapist? Are you someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns? Have you recently been diagnosed with, or are a caregiver for someone diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder? I help individuals from diverse backgrounds manage anxiety, burnout, depression, and autism. I love helping people identify and achieve their therapy goals. We’ll use a holistic approach - integrating mindfulness, physical health, and reflection to reduce symptoms. Whether you’re a new parent adjusting to parenthood, dealing with relationship issues, struggling with anxiety and depression, or a caregiver for someone with autism - I’d be honored to be part of your healing journey. I will meet you where you are, with compassion and non-judgment. I look forward to working with you!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
After the first session, you will have identified your therapy goal(s), and how we will work toward them. We will identify how and what to do to achieve your goal, and revisit how things are going after each session. After we've worked together for a while, we will adjust your goals or create new ones.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Cultural competence is my strength - growing up in Hawaii allowed a very diverse and eclectic worldview. I also have many years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and I am in the process of becoming a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS).
