how we help
We are passionate about providing inclusive, affirming and collaborative services. We specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks who struggle to navigate minority stress, are wanting to move to a place of self-celebration, and engage more effectively in their communities.
​
We believe in the power of whole body wellness and support clients through navigating how unhelpful patterns, behaviors, and relationships may be showing up in our lives. We see wellness as more than just therapy and are committed providing wellness services that not only serve our clients, but also provide opportunity to our queer community. Check out all of our offerings above!
the value of mental wellness
Mental wellness is achieved from doing more than just therapy. The way we engage in our lives, conceptualize ourselves, and interact with our communities matters in developing sustainable well-being. Our team at Half Moon is here to help in the journey to creating a viable, intentional path to long term mental wellness.

Anna enjoys helping adults manage anxiety and perfectionism, heal from trauma– particularly developmental and intergenerational traumas–, and cultivate a more compassionate self-image.
