Anita believes that life’s challenges present opportunities for learning, healing, and growth. As a therapist, her goal is to help you navigate these experiences with greater self-awareness and resilience. She is committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and concerns to cultivate personal meaning in your life.
