Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or disconnected from yourself? I'm Anastasia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults through their mental health journeys. I specialize in empowering individuals to overcome challenges such as depression, social anxiety, and the impact of trauma. Many of my clients also seek support for navigating relationship issues, coping with anger, processing grief and loss, and adapting to major life changes. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focusing on your unique strengths. Using evidence-based methods like CBT and psychodynamic therapy, we will work together to build the skills you need to regain control and feel like yourself again. As a married and practicing Christian, I have a deep and personal understanding of the dynamics that shape both marital and family relationships. My faith and my own experiences allow me to approach these challenges with a unique blend of empathy and insight. I have the expertise to help you navigate marital and family challenges with your personal goals and spiritual values in mind. Please note: I do not provide letters for service animals or special accommodations.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and free of judgment; a place where you feel truly seen and emotionally safe. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t just help you understand why you feel the way you do; I help you build real tools to navigate it.

I earned my degree from Cal State Fullerton and have extensive experience working in addiction treatment, eating disorder recovery, and women’s issues. Supporting women is especially meaningful to me. I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate challenges related to self-worth, body image, relationships, boundaries, life transitions, and identity. I understand how trauma, societal expectations, and relational dynamics can shape how women see themselves, and I approach this work with both compassion and clarity.

Together, we focus on strengthening mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I blend insight-oriented exploration with concrete strategies, because meaningful change happens when insight meets action. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, feel more confident managing your emotions, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in various mental health roles supporting teens, adults, and families through stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, trauma-focused care, DBT skills, mindfulness, solution-focused work, family systems, and humanistic therapy, tailoring sessions to what actually works for you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident navigating real-life challenges.

As a first-generation Latina, breaking generational stigma around mental health is deeply important to me. I’m passionate about providing culturally responsive care that honors identity, family values, and lived experience while creating safe space for healing and growth.
