ABOUT HER

Hi, I’m Anna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I earned my Master’s degree from Lesley University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy. With a background in dance and the performing arts, I believe deeply in the body as a powerful tool for healing, insight, and self-expression, and I thoughtfully incorporate this into my work when it feels supportive for each client.

As a mom myself, I understand how isolating and overwhelming motherhood can feel at times. I’m especially passionate about supporting women in this season of life by offering a space that feels accessible, grounding, and practical. Whether you are navigating the postpartum period, in the day-to-day intensity of raising children, considering expanding your family, or facing fertility challenges, my goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive environment where you can process your experiences and grow.

The Founder's Note

"Anna is so down to earth and her approach feels especially thoughtful for women navigating overwhelming seasons of life, motherhood, and emotional burnout. Love love love."

- Olivia, Founder of The List

    You’ll love working with me if you’re okay with my ever-present lineup of beverages—water? check. something bubbly? check. coffee? double check. I like to think a well-hydrated therapist is a grounded therapist.

Favorite way to unwind
My favorite ways to unwind include a stroll around the block with my daughter on a nice evening, getting lost in a good book, or settling into a knitting project as a way to relax and reset.
Morning routine must-haves
My morning routine must-haves include coffee or matcha (a true non-negotiable), a quick breakfast (big foodie over here), and some good music to help me feel awake and grounded for the day.
Current obsession
Current obsessions: running and all things vintage. I never thought I’d be a runner, but I started about a year ago and it stuck. Having an outlet to release pent-up stress and energy—and the way it helps me feel in my body—has been a total game changer for my mental health. I also have a long-standing love for secondhand fashion and antiques. I’m always on the lookout for a great vintage tee or a pre-loved, handmade piece—whether it’s clothing or furniture with character!
Favorite movie, show or podcast
I’m a bit of a romantic, so my go-to comfort shows are historical dramas—Downton Abbey is always a favorite.
