“I got to do a one time session with Ana while I wait for my turn for long term sessions. She was beyond helpful! Ana helped me 1) remember things that I already knew were true, but needed to hear from someone outside of my head 2) gave me tools to start working on finding the root causes of some other issues I’m facing. She helped me see that I don’t have to believe what other people believe about me. She also gave me concrete, actionable steps to take for when people are right about me and I don’t like it! I am not always the victim in the story. If you’re nervous - just do it. It’s worth it.”
“I’ve had the honor of working with Ana in the past, and I’m truly grateful for the god given opportunity. I’ve worked with many traditional therapists in the past and although they were somewhat helpful, they just couldn’t do it for me. I felt like they were saying things I want to hear and at the end, I felt no progress. But with Ana, I felt relief right after the first session. She was attentive, honest and tackled my trauma and triggers in a way no other therapist could. It was a pleasure working with Ana while I could and I’m so so happy to see her getting more and more clients each day. The waitlist is long but very well worth it. I def have recommended people to Ana in the past and I would recommend her to anyone who want to heal and understand themselves better. xx”
“I just did a one time call session. Ana really gives it to you straight, I spent about three years seeing my therapist weekly trying to unpack my mind, only to spend an hour here roadmapping all of the traumas that have come up and are intertwined. This is different than traditional therapy as we are focused on the root causes vs. daily stressors where they pop up. I can honestly say I knew a lot more about myself than I thought before seeing Ana, but having someone tell it to you straight up hits different. I was always looking for someone to give me the answers I knew, in a spoon feeding way. But miss Ana lets you know what you need to do, it’s just up to you and within your power to act on it! Tough love is how I’d describe this experience, a little nerve wrecking but very empowering”
“Absolutely life changing. As Ana walked me through my traumas I found myself just thinking, holy s*** how did I not know this? I think because we are so trapped in a cycle it’s very hard to look inside and understand why we are the way we are, that’s where Ana comes in. What I thought was a small issue had so many root causes. Ana walked me through each fear and the trauma associated with it. She also walked me through how to start healing it. I’m an action plan kinda girl so I loved that she was able to provide me with steps on healing my traumas. She is so genuine and I really felt like she was there to listen to me and help me. So excited to work on myself and have someone I can go to and count on”
“I had a one-time therapy session with Ana and was amazed how she was able to connect my current anxiety with past experiences. I don’t have any major trauma but never realized how micro-traumas can have an impact years later. Ana gave me a clear understanding of why I feel and act the way I do, and this knowledge will help me correct negative patterns. I highly recommend for everyone where you think you have trauma or no”
“I really loved working with Ana during our one time session. She was very quick to point out where my rooted issues were coming from, and knew exactly what to ask without any sugar coating. I think applying some tips she gave me will make a big difference from now on. Overall, it was very nice to talk to someone without any judgments or personal feelings about the matter. Someone who can be rational about the issue and tell you exactly what you need to hear even if it’s a tough pill to swallow. Highly recommend!”
“I jumped on a call with Ana tonight and not knowing what to expect, I just kinda laid it all out and while I felt like it was a lot, Ana was extremely helpful in listening and providing advice. Not like a therapist where you leave wondering and searching for answers. Ana diggs right in with a no nonsense approach and provides solid answers and understanding. Will be booking again! Thank you!!”

“A diamond in the rough, and as approach to supporting individual stands out distinctly among the myriad I have encountered. What differentiates her is her genuine concern and commitment. She is deeply passionate about facilitating individuals in their journey to comprehend their traumas, reactions, circumstances, and aiding them through it. Two aspects that immediately caught my attention were firstly she does not time her clients, which is extremely helpful when you're in the mode of talking about traumas, and secondly, her objective is not to create a perpetual client dependency, but rather to empower her clients with the essential tools, they require. These characteristics, demonstrate her commitment to genuinely aiding individuals in navigating their situations with an understanding of their trauma, despite her demanding personal life and professional commitment and consistently makes time for her clients. She provides resources shares, informative, videos, tricks, and regularly, and remains available during crisis to the best of her capacity. It is a rarity to find someone as dedicated as Ana who recalls individual situations and proactively sense, pertain, exercise exercises, and resources. In addition she provides cost-effective or complementary resources recommendations. It truly resonates with me that she remembers client concerns beyond the scheduled sessions and support. She acknowledges the tiniest improvement and you're thinking and provides ultimate support when your cycling through the same things her goal is to equip you with guidance. She focuses on training wheels and nurture over codependency and does this through asking you thought-provoking questions rather than spoon feeding. I am going through a challenging part in my life and part of my journey involves self discovery and introspection on my evolution as a person, and as approach is commendable and the way she respects and integrate my religious beliefs, cultural values and traditions in our conversations, she understands that it's not a one size shoe fits all and some, and has a true gem a beacon of support and an embodiment of compassion. She strives to truly understand her clients in a nonjudgmental environment, which is truly remarkable she welcomes you as you are and meet you where you are she empowers you.”
