EXPERIENTIAL, EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY | CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
You don't have to face anxiety, trauma, or a changing world alone.
A different kind of therapy
Sometimes awareness only gets you so far. You may even understand why you feel or act the way you do, but things aren't changing.
Real change doesn't come from insight alone. It also comes through a different experience in relationship. Being met with care, attunement, and genuine presence can create enough safety to stay with emotions that once felt overwhelming. Over time, you can learn to meet those feelings with the same care and move through them without being overtaken by them.
ABOUT
I'm Anna. I’m glad you’re here.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Ecotherapist, here to help you discover your own wholeness and belonging in a world that often feels disconnected. My work is creative, collaborative, and rooted in anti-oppression, built on the safety and trust we’ll develop together over time.
I draw on trauma-informed mindfulness, AEDP, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and nature-based practices to help you deepen self-awareness, find your footing, and move through life with more meaning. Whether you want to grow your relationship with the natural world or explore your own inner wilderness, I'm here to walk alongside you.
SERVICES & FEES
Support that meets you where you are
Individual Therapy
One-on-one, experiential therapy for older teens, adults, and elders moving through anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or the world.
Group Therapy & Community Offerings
Seasonal therapy groups, Climate Cafés, and other community offerings create space for connection, reflection, and shared practice. Current offerings may include Alive Outside group ecotherapy and gatherings for people navigating the emotional realities of a changing world.
Ecotherapy
Nature is one of the ways I work, never the only one. When it feels right for you, ecotherapy can bring the natural world into individual or group therapy, whether we meet outdoors, indoors, or online.
Feeling, not just talking
Many people arrive in therapy able to explain their patterns but still feel stuck. They may understand what's happening and why, yet notice the same reactions in their body and the same patterns in their relationships.
My work takes us beyond insight alone.
We slow down and pay attention to what is happening in the moment: emotions, body sensations, impulses, and protective responses. With support, you can create new ways of relating to what has been too much in the past and begin to process what you’ve been carrying.
