Annastasia is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who provides individual therapy to adults in Minnesota. She creates a warm, affirming space where clients can show up fully as themselves—without needing to censor their emotions, humor, or humanity. Annastasia believes that meaningful change happens through genuine connection and takes a collaborative, relationally focused approach that emphasizes trust, openness, and emotional honesty. She often works with thoughtful, motivated individuals who may feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, or executive functioning challenges, or feel pressure to hold everything together for others. Annastasia especially enjoys supporting women and young adults, including those who are academically driven or highly ambitious, who want to build lives aligned with their values rather than defined solely by productivity or achievement. Her style is authentic and down-to-earth, welcoming big emotions, candid conversations, and moments of humor throughout the therapeutic process. As an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-allied therapist, she is committed to providing culturally responsive, ethical, and socially conscious care.
