Hi there, I'm Ana!

Taking the first step toward healing isn't always easy, and I want to acknowledge your courage in exploring therapy. I'm here to help you gain new perspectives, develop healthier coping skills, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. My goal is to create a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and supported.

My focus

I work with young to older adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, addictions, or past trauma. My diverse experience allows me to take a well-rounded approach to understanding how life experiences, relationships, and personal struggles shape mental health and sometimes hinder personal growth.

My approach

I take a collaborative and strengths-based approach, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Using person-centered therapy, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, I help you challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-awareness, and develop strategies that support your well-being.
