Hi there, I'm Anna! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio, with 10 years of experience in the field. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and LGBTQ+/gender-affirming care. I have experience treating these concerns as well as a wide range of other mental health issues in an ever-changing, highly imperfect world that I know can feel difficult, if not impossible, to navigate. I believe therapy is sacred work in the sense that to witness another person's story, pain, and experiences is a privilege that I work hard to earn. Your story and your trust are your own, and it is my goal to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe sharing it while we work towards meaningful change.

Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. We all face situations throughout life that can make us feel overwhelmed and in need of support, encouragement, strategic planning or goal setting. You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. You may need support in family life transitions, a parent-child relationship, peers groups, marriage, divorce, social issues, academic challenges or behavioral issues. While we are working together, I take a collaborative approach to help you to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges you're facing in life. I am here to support and empower you on your personal journey. Recognizing when issues in life have become too much to handle alone and seeking assistance is a great first step on your healing journey. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, so I applaud you on taking that first huge step.

Deciding to seek support through counseling takes courage, and the process of finding the right therapist can be intimidating. Building a trusting relationship with a therapist can take time and I understand how difficult it can be to be vulnerable. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and Humanistic, focussed on building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, safety, empathy, and compassion. I utilize evidence-based methods such as CBT, CFT, mindfulness-based interventions, breath work, somatic psychotherapy, and EMDR. Whether you are looking for a safe space to talk through current stressors, or dig deeper to process past trauma, I hope to provide a safe and nurturing space, collaborating with you on your journey of healing and personal growth.

Hi :) I imagine you are here because things are not great. Perhaps, you would like to improve or change something, or maybe you just want to feel better or more comfortable in your skin. I know it can be scary, but I believe it’s also brave. It takes courage to admit that you would like life to be different. I believe together we can get you to a place where life isn't so hard. During my 19 year career, I have been fortunate to have met wonderful people and together we have grown. I view the therapeutic process through a person-centered lens and as something we do together. I believe it is important to celebrate the small successes, and focus on progress, rather than perfection.
