About Anna

I’m Anna (pronounced AH-NAH), licensed counselor, certified trauma sensitive yoga facilitator and trainer, and EMDR therapist. My work centers around the belief that we humans are each capable of living full and vibrant lives but also that we aren’t meant to build those alone.

My clinical practice is inspired by studying a variety of different therapy styles and over two decades of engaging in contemplative and meditation practices, as well as yoga and dance. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Relational Cultural Theory.

My therapeutic approach is heavily influenced by my clinical and research work experiences at the National Institutes of Health, Veterans Administration Hospital (JP), Boston Medical Center, The Trauma Center, Boston Neurofeedback Center, Prospect Hill Academy, Bromsgrove International School Thailand, and the Center for Trauma and Embodiment. Each supervisor, colleague and client I have worked with over the years has impacted how I show up today. Additionally, my own life experiences, including growing up as a child immigrant facing social and systemic challenges, originally inspired me to become a therapist and continue to inform my approach as a clinician.

I split my time between my virtual private practice supporting individuals and couples and working as a clinician and supervisor at Salem State University's counseling center. I also facilitate local and international trainings and workshops on trauma sensitive yoga, embodiment, and trauma-informed care.
