“We cannot make real choices if we do not understand the thoughts and feelings that affect our behaviors. With compassionate curiosity, I help clients become more attuned to themselves and start living the life they desire.”

I’m Anna, and I believe that we each possess an inner knowledge that is ever-growing and changing. You are the expert of your own life, and my therapeutic approach reflects that. Through compassionate support, I strive to inspire curiosity within you. Using art, somatic exercises, EMDR, and internal family systems (parts work), we will work together to deepen your understanding of yourself and others. If it resonates with you, we may even use tarot cards through a psychotherapeutic lens for further reflection.
The joy and connection I feel with nature inspired the name of my practice, Lantana Counseling, which is named after a wildflower introduced to me by my papa. Whenever its bright colors catch my attention, I can slow down and return to myself.
I value learning about the human experience and exploring how grief, loss, disconnection, and trauma shape us. Lantana Counseling is a safe and welcoming space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to create a warm environment where you, too, can slow down, acknowledge your suffering, and discover a sense of compassion for yourself and the world around you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to schedule a phone call or email me.
Your friendly neighbor,
Anna Burns
