Sometimes clients feel overwhelmed by emotion and uncertain of where to start in caring for their mental-emotional well-being.
I help clients to process emotion, order and distill complex life experiences, and construct narratives that support a sense of meaning and clarity in life.
I believe in developing a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for supporting healing and growth.

Favourite Quote
“Rather than searching for ways around death and disappointment, the queer art of failure involves the acceptance of the finite, the embrace of the absurd, the silly, and the hopelessly goofy. Rather than resisting endings and limits, let us instead revel in and cleave to all of our own inevitable fantastic failures.” ― J. Jack Halberstam, The Queer Art of Failure (2011)
Interests
Anna loves being near water, swimming, canoeing, or even just jumping in puddles 🙂
