About Me
Hey, I'm Anna, a Registered Psychotherapist. I have focused my career on working with individuals who when asked how they are answer "I'm fine", the individuals who spend their days helping other people only to find themselves unable to care for their own needs at the end of the night.
Working primarily (not exclusively) with First Responders and Military Veterans, I am most effective when helping helpers who are uncomfortable with looking at their own emotions, sensations, feelings and behaviours. Therapy with me focuses on creating a place to feel safe, build trust (even when it feels impossible to trust others) and find safety in relinquishing total control. I focus on understanding the roots of trauma, processing stuck thoughts, sensations and feelings, and building the skills needed to move forward with more comfort and confidence in managing emotions and symptoms

Psychotherapy Services
Individual Psychotherapy - Virtual Video or Phone
I provide individual psychotherapy sessions online, helping with the goal of reducing barriers to attending therapy and encouraging therapy practices in your own safe space. Virtual services make it convenient, easy and most of all.. comfortable. I encourage you to try it out! These sessions can range from structured trauma therapy sessions, to fluid sessions which focus on coping with your everyday life stressors.
Cultural Competency Consultation or Training
Individual Psychotherapy - Focus on New Therapist Consultation (*not supervision)
I provide online or in person consultation or seminars to individuals, peer supports and companies working with First Responders/PSP and Military Veterans. This can focus on learning to build meaningful relationships (while being mindful of individuals who have experienced Moral Injury), learning to be trauma-informed or working through specific problems.
A personal goal of mine is to reduce the fear, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and worries of stepping into the field of mental health. Whether this be working with individuals whom provide the Act of Psychotherapy, or others, I provide consultation to individuals who are seeking to build their confidence in their work and work through their own stuck points. In sum, helping helpers to live in congruence with what they teach!
