Anna’s Therapeutic Style With Children and Adolescents:
Anna creates a safe, caring environment where children can feel understood, supported, and accepted just as they are. She knows that children often express their feelings through behavior, play, or body sensations rather than words, and she works gently to help them make sense of what they’re experiencing.

Anna uses a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, meaning she considers a child’s relationships, early experiences, and current environment when supporting them. She looks at what may be happening at home, school, and in the child’s wider world to understand how stress, big emotions, or past experiences may be showing up in their behavior.

Through play-based interventions, EMDR when appropriate, somatic work (helping children understand how feelings show up in their bodies), and practical coping tools, Anna supports children in building emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. For attachment work, Anna offers sessions based on Theraplay® principles. She also partners closely with caregivers, offering guidance and support so families feel more connected and empowered at home.
