IFS level 1 &
APCC #18938 Under the clinical supervision of
Certified Gottman Therapist, Anna McDonald LCSW #100937
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I know what it’s like to feel uncertain, anxious, frustrated, and lost. My journey into therapy began when I was searching for answers to years of debilitating chronic pain. When I ultimately received a cancer diagnosis that turned my world upside down, therapy helped me find steadiness, reconnect with my sense of self, and hold onto hope. It also gave me and my partner the tools to weather a season we never saw coming. We learned that with support, a relationship can become a place of safety and refuge—even in the face of the unexpected.
It is an honor to support you on your journey.
My role is to help you—or you and your partner—make sense of the deeper patterns shaping your experience and relationships, and to offer concrete tools that support clarity, connection, and healing. Together, we’ll work to deepen your self-awareness, develop skills to navigate uncertainty, and create meaningful, lasting change—moving toward a life that feels grounded and fulfilled.

because I have been there.
As A Partner: We incorporated the Gottman teachings early on in our relationship, which helped us build a strong foundation and stay connected as we navigated the inevitable twists and turns of life together. The only constant in life is change, and the Gottman Method helped us grow with life—supporting us in understanding our strengths and challenges as a couple while deepening our friendship. I help couples do the same by teaching communication skills that turn conflict into connection, deepen emotional intimacy, and support them in building a shared vision for their future
With Health Realted Challenges: I know what it’s like to feel betrayed by your own body, to feel overwhelmed by the medical system, and to worry about being a burden. I also understand how caregiving for a loved one with health challenges can be exhausting and isolating. Therapy provides a space to process these experiences, regain a sense of self, and build the resilience needed to navigate uncertainty with strength and support.
With Trauma: I know how exhausting it is to feel like you have to hold it all together after experiencing trauma. It can erode your trust in yourself and your body, leave you feeling disconnected in relationships, and unsure of how to move forward. I also know that healing is possible—and that with the right support, you can begin to feel safe, connected, and whole again.
