You have resources within you & together we can draw them out.

The journey into parenthood is often a wild mix of beautiful moments, overwhelming changes, and unexpected challenges. It can be hard to say “this is not what I expected and I don’t feel like myself”. You are not alone. I can help you find relief and restore your sense of self and grounding in this new time.

About

You are resilient and I can help you navigate these new waters.

My name is Anna (she/her) and I provide therapy for Washington mamas and parents. I support families with a range of issues from fertility concerns to unexpected challenges in pregnancy and childbirth into postpartum and parenthood. I also work with individuals and couples experiencing perinatal loss. I hold a warm nonjudgmental space where we can explore the scary and unanticipated. I am a social worker and proud mother to a son who keeps me active, silly, and humbled. Using a strengths-base and relational approach, I support clients in tending to their resilience, skills, and healing around issues that are important to them.
