Anna is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously in just 2 sessions with my toxic relationship. After 3 years I was finally able to let him go and start my life without him. She has given me great tools to work with and information that is very helpful.

I feel like finding Anna was exactly what I needed. She’s very warm, open, and understanding. I say one thing, and she completely understands how I feel and validates why I do. After every session, I feel like more of a weight is chipped off of my shoulder. I’m very grateful to her.
