She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She also works with problems related to trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her work blends practical strategies with collaborative conversation. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and steps people can try between meetings.

Anna has a long background helping people facing health and caregiving challenges. Her additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer and chronic illness, intellectual disability, and caregiver stress. She also addresses isolation, life purpose, financial worries, and forgiveness or guilt concerns.

In sessions she aims to identify small, achievable changes. That might mean practicing new ways to talk about needs, testing a different routine for sleep or eating, or learning brief mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She uses motivational interviewing when people want to shift habits or make decisions.

Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented process. Anna combines evidence-informed tools with ongoing conversation to help people clarify priorities and try manageable steps toward their goals. She collaborates on plans that fit each person’s situation.
