About Anjna | She/her

Anjna is a limited permit Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about her client's mental health, helping them develop insight into their inner world, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and make meaningful changes that lead to lasting transformation and well-being. As a South Asian female therapist, Anjna brings a unique cultural understanding to her practice, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches to address a variety of challenges, including anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues. She understands that clients are complex individuals and that many factors, such as family dynamics, culture, faith, past traumas, and societal influences, contribute to their experiences. In therapy, Anjna works with clients to explore these intersections, honoring their unique journeys while finding practical ways to help them thrive. For example, she offers the option to incorporate spirituality and faith into the therapeutic process, recognizing the significance of these elements in many people’s lives. Anjna's goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore both the roots of their struggles and practical strategies to help them thrive. Through their work together, clients can gain a deeper understanding of themselves, build skills to manage difficult emotions, break free from unhelpful patterns, and reclaim their sense of agency.

Message to clients

Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're living for yourself or just to meet the expectations of others? Are your relationships causing stress or leaving you feeling disconnected? If you're grappling with feelings of depression or struggling to align where you are now with where you thought you’d be, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore these challenges together. Emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with things like anxiety, big life changes, or relationship struggles. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be open and honest about what you’re going through, even if those feelings are hard to talk about. In this safe and supportive environment, we’ll work through the challenges you're facing, helping you build resilience and better understand yourself.
