Ana is a licensed social worker and therapist with 7 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds. She enjoys helping her clients learn to better cope and eliminate distress due to anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, and relationship issues. Ana takes her time getting to know her clients and understand the biopsychosocial needs at whatever stage of life they happen to be. She is certified in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy for acute and chronic PTSD, trained in mindfulness techniques, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as motivational interviewing for actionable changes in thoughts and behavior.
Ana’s first goal is to make sure that you are comfortable. Going forward, she will work with you to identify triggers and causation of symptoms you have been experiencing and then an actionable plan to modify responses. She strives to make sure her clients feel accepted in a non-judgmental container to work on becoming a better version of themselves. She knows it can be hard to ask for help, but being comfortable with your therapist makes a difference.
