Individual and relational development are possible for anyone. Anna aims to help people find clarity to the challenges they are experiencing within themselves and their relationships while staying connected to themselves and their values.

Anna believes that a client’s relationships, regardless of their dynamics, play an important role in their healing journey and process. Therefore, Anna strives to see clients within the context of their relational system and holds the belief that a person both struggles and heals within relationships.

Identifying what needs to be developed within ourselves often begins with acknowledging the impact and influence others have on us along with the impact and influence we have on others. To pursue development Anna believes in the motto “You cannot develop in others what you have not already developed within yourself.” It is with this idea that individual and relational development can occur.

Anna believes that the counseling and coaching process is most effective in the context of a safe and secure provider-client relationship. She believes this is the foundation for healing and progress. Clients can expect to be encouraged and reassured as they work towards building authenticity and attachment in a safe and grace-filled environment.

As a multidisciplinary provider, Anna offers trauma-informed counseling and coaching services with an emphasis on sex and sexuality, relational growth and individual flourishing. She offers individual, couples and premarital counseling and coaching services addressing a variety of individual and relational issues related to premarital preparation, sexual theology, sexual desire differences, sexual pain and dysfunction, relational distress, communication, and issues related to trauma.

In counseling, Anna practices attachment-focused, systemic psychotherapy and uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches. In addition, Anna is pursuing certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has training in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI); an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention.

Anna was raised in the greater Dallas area where she now lives with her family. She sees herself as a life-long learner and aims to continue pursuing growth in all areas of her life. Her favorite ways to practice self-care include a healthy dose of pampering, enjoying the finer things in life and spending time with family. Anna identifies as an extrovert at heart but loves to spend alone time recharging from the busyness of life!
