Registered Clinical Counsellor 

Hello! I'm Anna, a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) with experience supporting children, youth, and adults. While I specialize in addressing anxiety, nervous system regulation, and trauma, I work with a wide range of mental health challenges.​

​

In my counselling practice I use a client-centered, attachment-based, and bio-psycho-social approach focused on empathy and true healing.​ Wherever you find yourself in your life, I would be honoured to accompany you!

Areas of Expertise

Anxiety
Therapy
I use evidence-based treatment approaches (such as depth-oriented psychotherapy, IFS,  EMDR, and ERP) to help you heal from anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and chronic worry.  
​

Nervous System Regulation
I integrate somatic-based, polyvagal, and experiential techniques to help you regulate your nervous system from a state of chronic 'fight-flight-freeze' to one of calmness, curiosity, confidence, courage, and compassion.
 

Trauma-Informed Therapy
I am trained in trauma-informed treatments such as inner parts-work (IFS), OEI, and EMDR to help you process traumatic memories and re-wire your negative cognitions.

I am currently accepting clients for virtual therapy who are residents of British Columbia!
