Anna is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy across the lifespan in neighborhood, residential, outpatient, and school-based settings. She currently provides therapy via telehealth. Anna specializes in working with individuals and families impacted by adoption or foster care, offering a thoughtful, trauma-informed approach to exploring identity, attachment, relationships, and life transitions.

Anna also brings a neurodiversity-affirming lens to her work and has particular expertise supporting Autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. She is a PDA-informed provider and has extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex family dynamics.

She especially enjoys working with people who may feel they don’t quite feel like they fit in, helping them better understand their strengths and build confidence in themselves and their relationships.
