About
Anna-Karin
Hi, I’m Anna! I’m a heart-centered therapist who treats a variety of clients with concerns ranging from low mood, anxiety, and low confidence to grief and complex trauma. I meet you where you are, here in the present moment. I believe healing unfolds when we feel fully seen, heard, and valued. A big part of therapy is feeling comfortable so you can be yourself, and openly share how you feel. I will gently guide you to explore underlying feelings and root causes. I specialize in working with clients wishing to feel more like themselves again and better able to handle life’s challenges.
In addition to being a therapist, I cherish spending quality time with my family and friends, going for lovely walks by the ocean, reading, and writing. An early riser, I love waking up with the birds to enjoy the golden hours of the morning. I find joy in laughter, music, spirituality, authentic relationships, and traveling.
