Hi, I’m anna.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. My career has focused on helping young people navigate the emotional, social, and developmental challenges that accompany adolescence and emerging adulthood.

I began my clinical career as a therapist with the UAMS Programs for Young Adults, where I worked with individuals ages 14–24 and led the Young Adult Diagnostic Clinic. In this role, I provided assessment and treatment for young people experiencing a variety of mental health concerns while helping them and their families better understand their needs and develop effective strategies for moving forward.

In 2015, I transitioned to Episcopal Collegiate School, where I served as the counselor for both the Middle and Upper Schools. During my time at Episcopal, I worked with students individually, in groups, and in the classroom, helping them navigate everything from everyday stress and anxiety to emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, and more significant mental health concerns. I taught practical coping and emotional-regulation skills and developed programming designed to strengthen students' social and emotional well-being.

I also led numerous parent education programs on topics including sexual consent, substance-use prevention, and helping ninth graders thrive. I helped develop the school's social-emotional learning curriculum for Upper School Advisory and led a Peer Leader Program, teaching senior students about emotional intelligence, leadership, and peer support while helping them provide structured support for ninth grade students transitioing into Upper School .

I am now in my second full year of private practice, where I work with ages 14 and up. My approach combines clinical expertise with a practical, compassionate style, helping clients develop the skills and self-understanding they need to navigate challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I am also a certified Highlands Ability Battery consultant, helping individuals ages 14 and up discover their natural abilities, create their personal vision & plan for their future careers. Whether you are wondering what to major in or are confronting the possibility of changing careers, the Highlands Battery is a valuable resource that can provide you direction.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time at home with my husband and dogs & cat, reading, watching movies, & connecting with my friends.

The decision to begin therapy isn’t an easy one, in fact it can be intimidating. I work to make the process both approachable and affordable.
