Hi, I'm Anna! My pronouns are she/her/hers and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience providing individual, group, and family therapy.

My clinical skills include working with individuals impacted by PTSD & complex trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, dissociation, concerns regarding sexuality & identity, relationship issues, and grief/loss. My areas of specialty include working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and incest, male-identified survivors of sexual violence, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

In my work with clients I integrate various techniques including acceptance & commitment therapy, narrative therapy, and somatic therapy. I believe in the importance of mindfulness, collaboration, radical acceptance, and humor. I am aligned with the values of sex-positivity, harm-reduction, and anti-oppression.
