About me

I’m a licensed counselor in Washington state with 15 years of experience helping people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family issues, relationship problems and general life challenges. My therapy style is warm, accepting and respectful. I honor each client’s right and ability to make their own choices and decisions, and see my role as a helper and guide.

My approach combines humanistic, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed and mindfulness therapy. I also have been trained in and utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family Systems Therapy.

Reaching out to a counselor is never easy, so if you’ve taken this first step, then you’re off to a great start! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals!

Anna Sharpe is amazing. I think BetterHelp did a fantastic job matching me with her. She has an incredible amount of empathy for me as a nurse and a young woman. After working with her for four weeks, I feel that she is a great support person in my life. She has proven herself an astute therapist that has helped me identify some internal struggles that I wasn't even aware that I was going through. Anna is a great listener and her approach is gentle and open-minded -- basically everything I wanted from a therapist and more. I often find myself at the end of our sessions wishing for more time. Anna does a stellar job of "putting a pin in it" for the next video chat and offers lots of materials for me to stew over during the in-between. She's the reason I have recommended BetterHelp to many friends, colleagues, and family members. Thank you for the work you do, Anna.
