Hi, I’m Anastasia,

I believe everyone should have the chance to re-write their story. Together, we’ll write your next chapter.

Growing up, I realized I had a knack for understanding other people’s feelings. But with that empathy came my own struggles, too. I’d get overwhelmed and anxious, especially when it came to close relationships. Often times I felt alone and isolated, even in a room full of people. I was desperate to feel understood and connected, and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. Was it me? Why did things feel so hard? I craved reassurance, but didn’t know how to talk about it. I wanted to feel secure, but I pushed people away. If I was being honest, I didn’t really like this version of me that kept showing up. I knew there had to be a better way to connect, to think, and to feel, And guess what…there is. Over time, I learned that even in our lowest moments, the choices we make can completely shift the direction of our lives.

That’s why I became a therapist. I’m here to help you unravel old relationship patterns, rebuild trust (with others and yourself) and create real, lasting change. Whether you’re healing from betrayal (I get it!) working through a rough patch (we can find a better way!) or trying to regain your footing after a painful breakup (it will hurt less!), you don’t have to do it alone.

Ready for a new beginning? I know what that feels like. I was there too. My own personal journey led me to finding a balance between connection and independence, security and freedom - and embracing the power of making choices that could change the direction of my life, even when I wasn’t always feeling it. I want you to find that too.

This is why I’m here. I love supporting others working to transform their lives. I help my clients break out of unhealthy patterns, ease the struggle and learn to live from a place of calm and happiness. It’s time to turn the page and start writing the story of the life you truly deserve.

Let’s begin.

Virtual Teletherapy

Convenient and Secure

Life is busy. Therapy doesn’t have to be one more chore to cross off your growing to do list. You can attend sessions from the comfort and privacy of your home with zero commute. All counseling sessions are hosted via a HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform.

Extended sessions available upon request.

Approach

My practice is rooted in attachment theory. So much of how we understand ourselves and others comes from our experience with the world around us and our earliest relationships. I work from a holistic, person-centered approach, intent on meeting my clients where they are with compassion, curiosity, and creativity. I utilize various theoretical interventions depending on client goals, and am sex positive, body positive, trauma informed, open/poly/ENM friendly and identity affirming.

When I’m not working as a therapist…

I can be found following a new theater debut, hiking through forests and deserts near and far while dreaming of the beach, laughing with family and friends, and trying to score reservations for the impossible to get into restaurants.

Feel calm and happy again in your relationships
