👋 Hi! Im Anna, here's a bit about me... 

About me: 

I am a Berkeley native and have toggled between careers in mental health, tech and in community management over the past decade. I am an associate therapist in both Oregon and California. I also do 1:1 life coaching, run workshops, and speak and consult on mental health and community building in the tech space. Outside of work, I love doing crossword puzzles in the sunshine, bringing community together, drinking coffee, hiking and jumping into rivers, lakes and oceans. Read on to learn more about my therapy practice, and feel free to reach out with any questions.​  

About my therapy practice:

To me, therapy is a space for growth. This growth process involves a deeper understanding of yourself, your environment and your current and past relationships. We will explore areas where you may feel stuck or want to create change and will work together to identify what achieving your goals looks like. I believe problems dissolve as we develop more self-awareness and alignment within ourselves and our relationships. We will dive into your values, and work towards aligning them with your visions. Theoretically, I am grounded in systems theory and operate from a lens of internal family systems and emotionally focused therapy, specifically focused on developing coping skills, understanding attachment relationships and exploring parts of yourself and the corresponding emotions. As a certified yoga instructor, I bring mindfulness and an embodied focus to my work as well. I strive to meet each client with where they are with a warm, compassionate, direct and practical approach.​
