About Annie

She meets people where they are and helps them take the next step when life feels overwhelming. Annie listens first, then works with each person to figure out practical ways to cope and move forward.
She uses a narrative-informed, integrative style that pulls from several approaches to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings, including skills for anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship challenges. Annie also supports those facing grief, addiction struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center where she assessed and treated a range of mental health and behavioral concerns.
That experience included supporting people affected by trauma, violence, depression, and anxiety across many stages of life. She is transitioning from a clinical director role into independent practice. In sessions she aims for a partnership built on honesty, respect, and steady communication.
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to tailor care.

Online session options
How Narrative Work and Skill-Based Therapies Fit Online
Many people find Narrative Therapy helpful because it focuses on the stories they tell about themselves. It looks at how those stories shape feelings and actions and helps people rewrite parts that no longer serve them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-driven steps; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using empathic listening and support to build confidence and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try ways of working and adjust the focus as needed to find what feels most useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's expressions and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing helps people organize thoughts. These options let people access therapy from home, work breaks, or other times that suit their routine.
