Kate Atherton, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, former CIIS colleague
“Anny is one of the most intentional people I know. I had the great pleasure of learning and sharing with her during our graduate studies to become therapists and we continue to support one another on our paths.
Anny is honest, thoughtful and committed to her relationships. She will speak humbly to what she doesn’t know and understand and is constantly seeking out opportunities to explore, expand and educate herself specifically when it comes to being in service to others in her therapeutic capabilities. Personally I have experienced Anny’s grounding and compassionate presence as well as her skillfulness in pointing out what is not working and potential ways of practicing a different perspective.
From the deepest most authentic place within me, I am so excited to refer people to collaborate with Anny. She is a total gem.”

Sunoo Youm, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, former colleague at Discovery Counseling Center
“I’ve had the honor of working with Anny during our clinical training. She is genuine, full of thoughtful wisdom, and carries herself with unshakable integrity and grace. She is also persistent in her self-reflection, pursuit of knowledge, and betterment as a human being to hold and guide others.
She has an incredibly calm yet powerful therapeutic presence and is also able to utilize compassion and humor in order to connect on a more personal level with those around her. Anny views things from a strong social justice lens and holds great awareness of the impact that systems have on individuals, their rights, and their mental health. She is able to create a safe space wherever she is in a way that naturally invites others to join her there.
I would highly recommend Anny as anyone’s therapist and is someone that I readily consult with and refer clients to.”

Cassandra Pianetta, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, former colleague at BAPTI
“I had the honor of working with Anny while accruing our clinical hours towards licensure.
When I first met Anny, I was instantly at ease by her warm, empathic, and genuine presence. She is very gifted clinically and has a true passion for holding “all parts of self.”
Anny looks through a strong social justice lens and is willing to show up and to be an advocate for her clients and community.
With her warmth, humor, and genuine nature, Anny is able to create a safe environment for her clients to show up as their genuine selves.
Anny is willing to collaborate with other clinicians to bring the best care and support for her clients needs. I would highly recommend Anny to any person who is looking to truly connect to themselves, with others, and to be held with compassion. She has a true gift and passion to facilitate change and healing. I am personally thankful for the opportunities to learn and grow from Anny! She is a referral I truly trust.”

Eli Alexander, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist & Certified Life and Human Potential Coach, former colleague at CIIS
“I had the incredible opportunity of being Anny's client when she was just getting started as a therapist and was amazed by how healing working with her was for me.
Her presence, curiosity and insight helped me learn about past and present patterns that I was stuck in and break free from in less than a month. Anny made me feel as if everything I had to share was worthwhile and valued, even when I would judge myself if it was worth bringing up or not important enough.
Anny helped me mature in my romantic relationship before it became to be too late, breaking free from some harmful behaviors and words that I would subconsciously say.
Thanks to being able to have Anny as my therapist, I am in a really great place today and still hear her insightful and graceful voice guiding me on my journey to this day. With forever gratitude.”

Geoffrey Geddes, MA, Life & Wellness Coach, Delayed Onsite Living
“Anny is the best of the best! I trained with Anny as a life coach – just one of the many complementary skills she has acquired along her journey to become a healer. Anny both impressed and inspired the rest of us with her calm, engaged, sincere demeanor, and her ability to be present with whomever she was working. Anny creates that “safe space” that so many of us need when we’re confronting difficult or painful issues. She also has a huge heart – big enough to carry the pain of others while they rebuild their own mental and emotional fitness. And her commitment to positive, joyful, upward movement is irrepressible. I heartily recommend Anny – her name tops my therapist referral list!”

Jaimelee Roberts, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, former colleague at Lincoln Families
“I was lucky enough to navigate early counselor training with Anny, working with kids and families, during graduate school. It was clear, early on that Anny had a natural instinct and talent, that would make her a magnificent counselor and true facilitator of change. Anny exuded unmistakeable empathy and attunement for all of her child clients that was well beyond her professional years. She was a true advocate for her clients, like no other, (almost to a fault). I found myself looking up to Anny and wanting to be like her. I still do!
Any client who is in need of a solid, soft and inviting space to heal and evolve, will be lucky to have Anny as a counselor.”

Carole Hagglund, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, former colleague at Lincoln Families
"I met Anny during our clinical training. Anny is a genuinely empathic person, and this profession fits her like a glove. I witnessed her work with children during our group supervision meetings, and she proved to be skilled, resourceful and compassionate. More than once, Anny offered me advice and support in my own practice, as well as empathy toward my own life events. Anny just feels right, and I do not hesitate to refer people to her.”
