Hey, I'm Anna, a Registered Psychotherapist. I have focused my career on working with individuals who when asked how they are answer "I'm fine", the individuals who spend their days helping other people only to find themselves unable to care for their own needs at the end of the night.
​
Working primarily (not exclusively) with First Responders and Military Veterans, I am most effective when helping helpers who are uncomfortable with looking at their own emotions, sensations, feelings and behaviours. Therapy with me focuses on creating a place to feel safe, build trust (even when it feels impossible to trust others) and find safety in relinquishing total control. I focus on understanding the roots of trauma, processing stuck thoughts, sensations and feelings, and building the skills needed to move forward with more comfort and confidence in managing emotions and symptoms
psychotherapy services are tailored to meet your individual needs, providing a safe space for you to explore your inner world. With expertise in holistic wellness, we are dedicated to supporting you on your path to healing and transformation.
Psychotherapy Services
Individual Psychotherapy - virtual video or phone
I provide individual psychotherapy sessions online, helping with the goal of reducing barriers to attending therapy and encouraging therapy practices in your own safe space.
Benefits of virtual therapy include:
-convenient
-accessible
-flexible scheduling
-comfort in being at home or on the go
-less wait time
Cultural Competency consultation or training
I provide online or in person consultation or seminars to individuals, peer supports and companies working with First Responders/PSP and Military Veterans. This can focus on learning to build meaningful relationships (while being mindful of individuals who have experienced Moral Injury), learning to be trauma-informed or working through specific problems.
Individual Psychotherapy - focus on new therapist consultation
A personal goal of mine is to reduce the fear, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and worries of stepping into the field of mental health. Whether this be working with individuals whom provide the Act of Psychotherapy, or others, I provide consultation to individuals who are seeking to build their confidence in their work and work through their own stuck points. In sum, helping helpers to live in congruence with what they teach! **not supervision
Couples or Family Therapy - focus on psychoeducation
I provide couples and family therapy that focuses on learning about the impacts of trauma on an individual and their family. This can include understanding how trauma shows up at home, the impacts on communication and relationships, and how families can support one another.
