Meet Anna, LCSW

Hi, I am Anna, owner and founder of Hand and Hand Therapy.

As a child who grew up in the foster care system of the 80s and 90s, life handed me multiple challenges that created barriers in my life. However, during my experience, I met some incredible social workers who showed me I was more than my situation and inspired me to desire more than I was given in life. After emancipating from the foster care system and graduating from high school, I decided to continue my education so that I too could become a social worker and give back to those who need support.

My professional career began at Santa Clara County Behavioral Health, providing mental health services to the Adult System of Care. From there, I worked with Transitional Aged Youth facing challenges with substance use.

As a private practice therapist, my goal is to provide accessible, compassionate, and personalized care to support individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
