Hello! I'm Ana! My practice focus tends to be on working with Gen Z and Millennial women (including LGBTQ+) who want to learn how to love themselves and unlearn negative self beliefs and habits (e.g. people pleasing). Many of my clients struggle with low self esteem and coping strategies from past trauma which can often lead to unhealthy relationship patterns and even self-destructive behavior. Even our current political climate can take a toll on your mental health and relationships! Many of my long term clients understand that meaningful change often includes a lot of baby steps and they are ready (or at least open) to taking those steps.

I have the most success working with clients who want to learn how to better manage anxiety, Complex-PTSD, ADHD, and chronic relationship troubles (e.g. narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse etc.). I am direct but compassionate and incorporate psycho education and humor into my practice. I'm also member and strong advocate of the LGBTQ+ community.

If you are ready to explore the "Why?" behind how you feel, think, and behave and learn to navigate your therapy journey and self compassion, reach out and see if we might be a good fit!
