You know you're ready for therapy because you're so lost
The person you used to be doesn’t seem to exist anymore and you aren’t sure how to figure out who took her place. Things are so different than you thought they’d be. You don’t know how to find yourself again. You don’t know what happiness even looks like anymore.
There’s this nagging feeling that you’re meant for so much more, but you can’t figure out how to get there. You would like to feel good about who you are, but those familiar voices telling you that you aren’t good enough keep coming up. So how do you move past them to get to where you want to be in your life?
Meet Anna
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and have more than 20 years experience in mental health counseling, starting my own private practice in 2010. I work with women across the state through online therapy.
As a therapist who specializes in working with women – I understand what you are going through. I know how important it is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. I know what it feels like to have lost yourself in the many roles and transitions that we make as women. I know what it’s like to feel the injustices in the world so strongly that you lose yourself in the process. What it’s like to see so much of the good in others but not be able to see the good in yourself.
When you work with me as your therapist, I can help you process all of that. I believe that everyone is innately good, and part of my job is helping you to find that part of you again. To help you remember that you already have everything you need to be the person you want to be, and together you and I are going to find it.
Women's therapy in Florida
what to expect
We start with your history and risk factors
We help you find ways to cope in the moment before we get into the deeper work. When you’re ready, we'll look at the spaces in your childhood where you may not have received the nurturing, security, and love that you needed. This allows us to see how these things are impacting your day-to-day life and examine how this history is impacting your relationships.
As we go deeper ...
into this work, we also look at the different parts of you to teach you to meet the needs of those parts. This helps all of your parts to learn to work together so that you as a whole person can meet your goals. We do this by using powerful methods like Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems.
When we are in the therapy room ...
you can expect the energy to be caring and supportive, but I’ll also throw in a joke here and there as well. You can expect that I will be realistic. I won’t suggest anything that isn’t a good fit for you and your life. I won’t sugarcoat things when they really do suck. I’ll help you to find solutions in a way that makes sense for you and your particular situation.
When my clients leave therapy, they feel like they are connected to themselves again. They feel like they know who they are, and they’re no longer stuck in a transition. These clients are confident in who they are and what they need to take care of themselves.
If you would like help getting to a better place, schedule an appointment.
My Background & Experience
i'm in your corner
My love for this work was born out of my own experiences with counseling and working with gifted and talented clinicians. Every time I attend a training with other therapists or take a seat on the proverbial therapist couch, I am reminded of how impactful and healing therapy can be. It is also a beautiful reminder of how the therapy process can be powerful and rewarding, much like the relationship with oneself.
I love serving ambitious, strong and courageous women who often feel confused and lost because they are not living life to their full potential. When I start working with clients, they often lack clarity around how to move past their barriers to thrive.
If that is you too, you don’t have to stay where you are. You were not meant to be stagnant. If you are anything like the women I have worked with before, you want to work through your hang ups and flourish, in spite of how difficult that process might be.
Recovery and healing is a journey I’d love to take with you.
Here’s what will make me effective at helping you …
I value the relationships I have with my clients. I am not a clinician in a white coat who sees you for the hour and then moves on. I often miss clients who have graduated from therapy. I enjoy seeing the evolution my clients make and appreciate them as people – not just as a diagnosis.
A warm and trusting connection between us is not only warranted, it is key to the success of your treatment. For that reason, we will get to know each other.
This paired with the fact that I specialize in the specific areas of psychotherapy you need help gives me a unique ability to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
