About Anna Belle
Hi There
Welcome. Whether you're a newcomer to therapy or you've had less than inspiring experiences in the past, it's common to have mixed feelings about starting counseling. It is not uncommon for my clients to report that our time together has been the most positive experience that they have had in therapy, so far. I believe this is because I love what I do. When working with trans and gender expansive clients, I practice informed consent. Meaning, I support your right to live in your body as authentically as possible, on a timeline that works for you. I provide letters of support and resources to assist in your transition, as needed. If part of you thinks that it could be helpful, I invite you to book a session and go from there. Get in touch today
