She wanted to be there as an anchor for her but at the same time she would give her freedom to find her own identity. (Para. 23)
Meaning: She wanted to be a person who can make her feel safe and supported but at the same time let her find out who she is by herself.
Here "anchor" is used figuratively, meaning "a person or thing that provides strong support and a feeling of safety".
