Welcome, my name is Anna and I’m the founder of Golden Wellness LLC, a solo private practice based out of the DMV area. I designed this practice to create  safe spaces for healing and growth, integrating faith and evidence-based practices. With over 19 years of non-profit management experience, and six years of social work, including case management, school-based therapy, clinical supervision, mental wellness resource advocacy, and outpatient psychotherapy, I employ a holistic, trauma-sensitive, and relationally-centered approach. My support emphasizes healing through connection, aiming to uplift all aspects of a person's life - social, emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical. In addition to direct psychotherapy, I leverage my experience in crisis support and clinical leadership to empower communities, agencies, and organizations to implement trauma-informed care and enhance abuse prevention and recovery initiatives. Achieving a state of mental and emotional wellness can be hard work, but let's lean into the discomfort together and collaborate on cultivating a golden state of well-being where self-compassion, safety, resilience, and peace can flourish.
