Hi, I'm Anansia!
Before I'm a therapist, I'm human.
I grew up between two homes. I lived with my dad and visited my mom twice a year. As a child, that was hard. I experienced the distance that can exist within families and saw how conflict and unhealthy communication between parents could affect their children.
Those experiences stayed with me and shaped my passion for helping couples and families build healthier relationships.
Today, I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a woman navigating my own journey toward motherhood. Like many people, I've experienced life's unexpected turns, and I know that relationships and family life aren't always straightforward.
These experiences are part of who I am and why I do this work.
Why I Created I DO THERAPY
To help families stay connected.
I believe we shouldn't have to wait until a relationship is falling apart to seek support.
I created I DO THERAPY to help couples build strong foundations, have difficult conversations, and develop the skills to navigate challenges together. I also want to support couples and families experiencing disconnection, helping them find opportunities for repair and healthier ways forward.
For me, this work is about prevention, connection, and creating healthier patterns for the next generation.
Our Mission
To empower individuals, couples, and families to build healthier relationships with themselves and one another through compassionate, preventative, and restorative therapy. We support personal growth, meaningful connection, and the development of healthier patterns for generations to come.
Our Vision
A future where individuals feel empowered to understand themselves, couples have the tools to build and sustain healthy relationships, and families are supported in creating lasting connections, emotional safety, and healthier legacies for generations to come.
A path shaped by people, places, and purpose.
My career has taken me across Canada and the United States, from studying and gaining clinical experience in Florida to spending nearly eight years living and working in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Along the way, I've supervised treatment services for at-risk youth, supported families navigating complex circumstances, and developed curriculum and delivered training for social workers in child and family services.
I've also explored the economic barriers mental health professionals face when accessing clinical supervision through research across Canada and the United States.
These experiences have shaped how I understand people, relationships, and the systems we navigate. They've also reminded me that there's always more to someone's story than what we see on the surface.
