Fanta became a counselor out of a deep passion for supporting others through life’s challenges and helping them uncover their inner strength. Witnessing the impact of unaddressed emotional pain in her community inspired her to be a source of healing, empowerment, and hope. Her work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and whole.

Fanta works best with clients who are ready to explore their inner world and take active steps toward healing and growth. She specializes in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her ideal clients are open to a holistic, collaborative approach and are seeking a safe space to feel empowered, understood, and supported.

Fanta is most excited to work with clients who are curious about their healing journey and open to self-discovery. She especially enjoys supporting individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are ready to explore new ways of understanding themselves, building resilience, and creating meaningful change in their lives.

Fanta wishes all clients knew that healing isn’t linear—and there’s no “right” way to do it. Growth takes time, and every step forward, no matter how small, is meaningful. You are not broken; you are becoming.

Fanta chose to practice at Thriveworks because of its commitment to accessible, high-quality mental health care and its supportive, client-centered values. The remote therapy model allows her to connect with clients in a way that’s flexible, convenient, and comfortable—making it easier for individuals to prioritize their mental wellness wherever they are.

Fanta is inspired by the resilience of the human spirit—the way people continue to show up, grow, and heal even in the face of pain. She finds deep motivation in witnessing her clients reclaim their stories, rediscover their strength, and move toward lives filled with purpose, connection, and self-acceptance.

In their first session with Fanta, clients can expect a warm, welcoming space where they are encouraged to share their story at their own pace. She focuses on building trust, understanding their goals, and collaboratively creating a plan tailored to their unique needs—laying a foundation for healing and growth.

In her free time, Fanta enjoys building with Legos, exploring nature through hiking, and staying active with regular workouts—activities that help her relax, recharge, and stay grounded.

One thing that defines Fanta outside of work is her creativity and love for building—whether it’s with Legos or crafting new ideas—which reflects her passion for growth, problem-solving, and seeing things from fresh perspectives.
