Anya's own personal struggles with her well-being and chronic pain sparked her interest in becoming a therapist. Through her journey towards healing, she came to understand the importance of seeking outside support and the role it plays in the healing process. As a therapist, she strives to foster a collaborative approach with her clients to facilitate their inner exploration, leading to a greater embodied awareness of themselves. She has particular interest and experience in working with clients struggling with disordered eating, relational boundary issues, chronic pain, immigration-related challenges, and feelings of not belonging.
