More about Anta

For over a decade, I have been supporting individuals across the lifespan with culturally sensitive therapy. In addition to helping people work through anxiety and depression, I specialize in working with adults affected by complex trauma and helping them feel safer and more hopeful to create a life worth living. I also support people with marginalized identities to process the stressful impacts of oppression and increase experiences of empowerment and connection. I look forward to helping you identify your values, practice coping strategies, and work toward specific goals to improve your mental health.
