What can I expect?

We will first get to know each other, your priorities and goals, and set up a plan to meet anywhere from weekly to monthly. This may include extended length sessions and EMDR intensives when appropriate.

We communicate with your other providers/physicians for care coordination as necessary.

All people are welcome here- I value and respect everyone with cultural sensitivity, and regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, marital status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability.

What is Anima?

The word ‘Anima’ originates in Latin, and it means breath, spirit, vital force, and soul.

I am particularly interested in the subconscious mind. The part that can really drive our habits, fears, feelings, and behaviors. By accessing this in a new way, we can make changes to negative patterns that are incongruent to who we really are.

“THERE IS UNLIMITED POTENTIAL INSIDE EVERY PERSON. WHEN WE TRANSFORM OURSELVES, WE NOT ONLY FULFILL OUR OWN POTENTIAL, WE LIFT UP ALL OF HUMANITY.”

— Phil Stutz & Barry Michels

What philosophies do I promote?

Mindfulness, trauma-informed, stoic approach, and solution-focused modalities.
