About Anna
I was born and raised in Austin, TX and moved back to the city to make this community my permanent home in 2014. I graduated from Tulane University with my Bachelor’s in Sociology, and received my Master’s of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin. I have worked with children, youth and adults in a variety of settings to find relief and recovery from trauma and mental/behavioral health disorders, including schools and state-sponsored systems of care. I also have significant experience working with children and adults that have lived experience in foster/child welfare systems and that have complex trauma backgrounds. My growth as a clinician is inspired by the strength and resiliency that I have witnessed with every client I sit with.
My hobbies include yoga, caring for my cats and chickens, listening to podcasts, and spending time with my loved ones in nature.
Specializations
I specialize in the full range of eating disorders, including body image and body dysmorphia, anxiety and depressive disorders and the co-occurrence of trauma and trauma-related disorders. I love working with teens and young adults, and partnering with families to cultivate joy and healing as a family system.
Treatment Philosophies & Modalities
Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I approach our work from a cultural-relational perspective, prioritizing the felt safety, vulnerability and valuable experiences brought forth by each client. I work from evidence-based modalities to treating eating disorders and body image, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and skills-based treatments, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients build up their toolkit for challenging thoughts and behaviors that prevent healing and body liberation.
I practice from a social justice lens and am Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating aligned.
