Meet Anita

Anita works with women and moms who are in transition.  I work with empty nest syndrome and the difficult feelings that arise when we drop our kids at college and drive away with feelings of loss. Only to arrive home to an empty bedroom and begin to face the reality that our child no longer lives at home. I also work with women who are in narcissistic relationships, some of them are not yet aware that their partners have these issues. We can begin to reflect on the relationships and learn methods to calm and contextualize the tumultuous environment.  I also work with moms who need support with their teenagers, and to help them navigate all of the exposure and stress they are under in this day and age.

A note from Anita: I believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is a partnership. It's about working with the client to help them navigate through the difficult transitional stages in their lives. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for open and honest communication.
