“I meet my clients where they are and together we work towards transforming challenges into opportunities for personal growth.
It’s important to find ways to build a bridge of communication that allows my clients share their experiences and who they are without feeling judge. Not only I am constantly promoting cultural competency in every aspect of how I practice and my environment, but cultural humility which is an ongoing commitment to personal growth and learning from others’ experiences. Providing an environment that is welcoming and accepting, embracing the client’s cultural differences by making them feel safe, validated, and comfortable in our space opens the door for an inclusive environment that fosters growth and positive change.
My passion and commitment to the process of healing and wellness and my interpersonal skills, clinical knowledge, professional and life experiences. I bring these unique skills set that allow me to stand out in counseling and most importantly connect with my clients.”
Annia holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and a bachelors degree in cognitive studies (psychology & education) from Ashford University and has over 25 years experience working on various settings such as community mental health, psychiatric hospital, case management, schools, police department, private practice with families, children’s, and individuals.
