About Anna
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee with 30 years of professional experience. I specialize in helping individuals and couples manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and addictions. I create a safe, open, and supportive environment where clients can share without fear of judgment. Taking the first step into therapy can feel overwhelming, but I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, encouragement, and respect for your unique journey.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from West Virginia University. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but I strive to make the process welcoming and supportive. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard and valued while building skills to support your growth. Together, we will work toward healing, resilience, and greater confidence in your everyday life.
"I welcome people from all walks of life, and want you to know you will be supported, cared for, and hopefully experience the growth you’d like to see in yourself."
