About Anna
I am a licensed MFT who works with adults utilizing EMDR, EMDR-related techniques such as the Flash Technique, EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques and Matrix Reimprinting), and Expressive Arts Therapy. After 18 years of counseling in nonprofit settings, in recent years I have devoted my own practice to these methods as I find them effective, streamlined, invigorating and inspiring.
The techniques I gravitate towards are ones I genuinely believe in, personally and professionally. I love to give clients tools that include physical awareness that they can use right away in their everyday lives (if you prefer talking only, I may not be the right therapist for you). I love to find the humor in life's challenges, and I like to get creative in meeting your goals--with words, ideas, images, and sound (if this interests you). Don’t see me if you’re looking for someone to tell you what to do because I believe you have the answers within yourself---but I will help you find them!
Clients and colleagues describe me as both calming and energetic, spontaneous, insightful, warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. You can expect that I will empathize with the nuances of you and your experiences. I am directive, yet I also strive to be very responsive to people’s sense of what is important to them, and to what they need in the moment. Clients tell me that they enjoy laughing with me, and that they often learn new and surprising things about themselves which help them to reach their goals. I love working with my clients--you can tell because I light up when I see them, share humor, and want to help when they are struggling. I truly look forward to getting to know you!
