Currently Taking New Clients
Bio
I am a clinical social worker who provides individual psychotherapy to adults. I offer in-person, telehealth, and walk-and-talk sessions and frequently do a combination.
I work with people across identities, lived experiences, and relationship styles. My non-judgmental approach and compassion toward conflicting feelings resonates especially well with folks impacted by individual and collective trauma/grief, encountering a significant life transition, living with anxious/depressive feelings and thought patterns, or simply wanting to engage in supported reflection.
Talk therapy with me covers a full spectrum of topics. We may explore impacts and understandings of past narratives, meaningful relationships, current events, emotional/behavioral awareness, overall mental wellness, possible ways to move from insight to change, or simply what’s going on in your day-to-day life.
My approach is responsive to the individual and does not exclusively utilize any single methodology. Informed by my years of experience working within complex systems, I pull from a range of therapeutic strategies, including but not limited to mindfulness-based cognitive, psychodynamic, existential humanistic, and polyvagal theory-based somatic therapies.
In my free time outside of the therapy room, I learn as much as possible about birds and continue to work on my bread baking skills. I also love to read and will many times check out books that people I work with resonate with or recommend.
Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are looking to return, starting outside support with someone new is a big deal. I recognize that you have your own definition and process in feeling safe, so we will work together to co-create a therapeutic relationship that honors your autonomy and goes at your own pace.
For prospective clients, I provide an initial free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss engaging in therapy, sense if we may work well together, and review logistics. To request a consult, email me directly at anna@connectedtherapynorthwest.com
