New to Grow
Hi, I’m Annika! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I’ve been supporting clients on their wellness journey since 2019. I work with teens, adults, and older adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges with more clarity, confidence, and ease. My therapeutic style is solution-focused with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We’ll explore the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, using curiosity and reflection to challenge patterns that no longer serve you. I believe that the solution to every problem already exists within you—my role is to help you uncover it, build on it, and trust in your ability to move forward. While therapy can be deep and transformative, I bring a relaxed and easygoing energy into the space. My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to you. Whether you’re facing stress, life transitions, or looking to strengthen your mindset, I’m here to help you “Master the mind. Master the moment.”
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll slow down, breathe, and get on the same page. You can expect a calm, welcoming space where you can talk openly about what’s been weighing on you or what you want to improve. I’ll ask gentle questions, we’ll talk through what’s working and what isn’t, and together we’ll sketch out a path forward that feels doable—not overwhelming. You’ll leave feeling supported, understood, and a little lighter than when you came in.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My clients often tell me they feel truly seen when they’re with me—and that matters. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that people thrive when they feel safe enough to be real. Along with mental and emotional support, I bring a background in sport performance and mindset coaching, helping clients sharpen their confidence, regulate stress, and reach their goals both on and off the field.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m most effective working with clients who are ready to grow, even if they aren’t sure how to begin. I support individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, performance pressure, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns they’re ready to shift. My approach is a good fit for those who want to better understand their thoughts, build emotional resilience, and develop tools they can apply in real life—not just in session. Whether you’re seeking clarity, confidence, or a mindset reset, I help clients strengthen their inner resources so they can move forward with intention and ease.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
My therapeutic style is solution-focused, meaning we’ll work together to identify your strengths and discover the tools already within you to overcome obstacles. I truly believe the solution to every problem lives inside you—I’m here to help you access it.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my work by helping clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Together, we learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge them with curiosity, and replace them with perspectives that support growth, confidence, and calm.
