Hello, I'm Anna

I am a passionate Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in British Columbia dedicated to supporting preteens, youth, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges.

I have a special interest in treating anxiety, OCD, nervous system dysregulation, and/or trauma - however I support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns. 

I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, and understanding environment where you can feel comfortable sharing anything on your mind. I work closely with each client to collaborate on a shared treatment plan that not only feels right for you but is rooted in evidence-based therapy.

In my clinical approach I integrate a variety of therapy modalities such as: depth-oriented psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and experiential/somatic approaches. 

​​​

Healing is possible, and I would be honoured to support you on that journey!

- Brené Brown 

We may be a great fit if you experience any of the following...

✨ Constant overthinking, racing thoughts, or finding it difficult to "turn your brain off."
 
🧠 Intrusive thoughts, mental compulsions, reassurance-seeking, checking, or a strong need for certainty.
 

🙏 Scrupulosity / Moral OCD — feeling trapped by excessive guilt, fear of sinning, doubts about your thoughts and actions, or a constant need to be "good enough."


🌿 Anxiety or panic that feels like it's running your life, causing you to avoid situations, people, or experiences.
 
🌪️ A nervous system that feels stuck in survival mode—you often feel on edge, overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or burnt out.
 
🌊 Effects of trauma or difficult life experiences that continue to impact your relationships, emotions, and daily life.

 

✝️ You're looking for a counsellor who shares a Christian worldview and can thoughtfully integrate your faith into therapy—when and if you'd like. 
 
🌱 A readiness to better understand yourself, heal at a deeper level, and create lasting change—not just temporary symptom relief.

My 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, scrupulosity or chronic worry.  

Nervous System Regulation
I integrate somatic-based 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.
