Healing Through Understanding and Support

At Let The Light In Therapy, you will receive compassionate support from someone who truly understands. I am not going to judge you. I look at your strengths and give you the tools to overcome shame and anxiety. I have personal experience with Complex PTSD, and I've helped hundreds of people find peace and empowerment. We can do this. Together.

It is my life's mission to spread the words on how to understand Complex PTSD. I, along with many other specialists of complex trauma, feel that the prevalence of C-PTSD is disturbingly under-valued and misunderstood. Until more people understand what complex trauma truly is, we will continue to see many people living with undue shame, isolation, addiction, and fear.

About Anna

I received my Master’s in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley, and am also an alumnus of Carleton College and the University of Chile. Additionally, I have obtained a Certificate in Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II). I am bilingual in Spanish.

With over twenty years in the professional mental health arena, I am skilled with many modalities. I often incorporate concepts of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you reclaim your sense of self and find wholeness. The answers are within you. I'll help you access your inner wisdom. With my approach, you will learn to explain (without excusing) what has contributed to your current reality. You will learn how to accept your current reality in order to step toward a better version of life. My approach is exceptionally relational, so you will feel my support and guidance every step of the way. You'll even enjoy it!

I have an extensive background in supporting adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, survivors of trauma including Complex PTSD (a type of distress that develops from an upbringing in a dysfunctional family), as well as individuals battling addiction.

I love providing therapy to therapists.

I utilize a modality that synthesizes key concepts from the trauma modalities of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Internal Family Systems. It's how I was able to heal, and it's a framework that I refer to as needed with my clients. I am in the process of publishing a book on my approach. Stay tuned!
