Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and a National Certified Counselor through the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University with additional certifications in Addictions Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy.

Anna works with individual adults, couples, and families. She approaches each client with curiosity and compassion and seeks to understand each person’s story through their unique cultural, spiritual, and familial context. Anna helps clients explore thoughts, beliefs, relational patterns, and coping strategies that may hinder a more fulfilling life. 

Anna has a strong calling to work with Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACOA/ACA), as well as individuals impacted by substance use, generational trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. Anna supports couples in pre-engagement, pre-marital, and marital counseling. Whether couples are hoping to nurture a healthy relationship through regular check-ups or are seeking support after betrayal, she honors the profound power of relationships—recognizing that it is within relationship that we experience both our deepest wounds and our greatest healing. Anna enjoys working with women in all stages of life, with a particular focus on midlife transitions. She supports women in processing the physical, emotional, physiological, and relational changes of this season, helping them regain clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of connection. 

Anna uses evidence-based methods, including Prepare/Enrich and the Gottman Method for couples. She is a Gottman Level One trained clinician, a member of the Gottman Relationship Check-Up Network, and a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator. Her work with individuals integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment-Based Therapy, Inner Child Healing/Reparenting, and other trauma-informed approaches. She welcomes the integration of a client’s faith when requested.

A note from Anna —

“Whether you’re stepping into counseling for the first time, reconnecting after a break, or therapy has been a steady part of your journey, my hope is to offer a warm, supportive space where you’re welcomed just as you are. Outside of counseling you will find me spending time with friends and family, playing ball with my grandsons, walking outside, reading, and listening to podcasts as often as possible! I love a wide variety of music, a strong cup of coffee, and will always say yes to Mexican food. I feel most at peace on a quiet beach in the early morning and find comfort on rainy days at home, preferably with a puzzle. My therapeutic approach—compassionate, relational, and spiritually sensitive—has been shaped by my own journey toward love, connection, and inner belonging. That journey began decades ago as I learned what it means to walk in relationship with God. I understand that everyone’s path looks different, and I hold your story with deep care and respect. In our work together, my hope is that you feel safe enough to slowly release old survival strategies and begin imagining new ways of being. Whether faith is a source of strength, a tender place, or something you’re still curious about, every part of you is welcome here.
