Hi there! I'm Anne! Whether you're healing from narcissistic abuse, mending a broken heart, battling burnout, or wrestling with anxiety and depression, I want you to know one thing: you're not alone on this journey. My practice is a safe haven for those who've weathered these storms. I've dedicated my career to creating a warm, judgment-free space where your story matters and your feelings are valid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we'll work together to find an approach that resonates so that you feel heard and understood. We'll unpack the heavy emotions, develop coping strategies that actually work for you.
Here's what you can look forward to: A warm welcome: We'll start with introductions and some light chat to help you feel at ease. No pressure, just two humans getting to know each other. Setting the stage: I'll explain how our sessions work and answer any questions you might have. This is your time, so don't hesitate to voice any concerns or curiosities. Your story, your pace: You'll have the floor to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. Think of it as dipping your toes in the water - we'll only go as deep as you're ready for. Collaborative goal-setting: Together, we'll explore what brought you here and what you hope to achieve. Whether it's finding inner peace, building better relationships, or simply understanding yourself better, we'll map out a path that feels right for you. Tailoring our approach: I'll share some ideas about how we might work together, but I'm all ears for your input. A glimpse of hope: We'll wrap up with some initial thoughts and perhaps a small technique or two you can try at home. Baby steps, remember? Remember, this first session is just the beginning of our journey together. It's okay if you feel a mix of emotions - nervousness, hope, uncertainty. That's all part of the process. My role is to meet you where you are and walk beside you, one step at a time
A Judgment-Free Zone: Picture a cozy, safe haven where you can be 100% yourself - messy emotions and all. That's the space I create for you. No masks needed here! Therapy Tailored Just for You: I'm like a chef, but instead of cuisines, I mix and match therapy approaches. CBT with a dash of mindfulness? Coming right up! Whatever flavor combination works best for you. Your Personal Navigation System: Whether you're untangling complex relationship knots, feeling like you're running on empty, or working through past hurts, I'm your GPS. We'll find the best route together, detours and all. Practical Tools You Can Actually Use: Forget abstract theories. I'm all about giving you real-world strategies. Think of it as your very own life-hacks toolkit. Setting boundaries that stick? Check. Flipping negative thoughts on their head? Double-check! Cheerleader for Your Self-Esteem: I've got pompoms ready to help you recognize your awesomeness. Together, we'll build your self-esteem and resilience, turning that inner critic into your biggest fan. Empathy: I don't just hear you; I really listen. Your experiences, feelings, and perspectives are valid, and I'm here to understand them deeply. Growth Facilitator: I'll help you plant seeds of change, nurture new habits, and watch as you bloom into your best self.
Life can throw some pretty hefty curveballs our way, can't it? That's where I come in. I've dedicated my career to being a beacon of hope for those navigating some of life's stormiest waters. Let me break down the areas where I'm particularly passionate about lending a helping hand: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse: Have you been caught in the whirlwind of a relationship that left you questioning your own reality? I'm here to help you reclaim your truth and rebuild your sense of self. Together, we'll untangle the complex web of emotions and help you rediscover your own voice. Mending Relationship Trauma: Relationships should lift us up, not tear us down. If you're carrying the weight of past hurts, know that you don't have to bear that burden alone. We'll work on healing those invisible scars and rewriting your story of love and connection. Navigating Recent Breakups: The end of a relationship can feel like the end of the world. But I promise you, it's not. It's the beginning of a new chapter. I'm here to help you turn the page, process your grief, and eventually, embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. Battling Burnout: Feeling like you're running on empty? Like you're stuck in a hamster wheel that never stops? Let's work together to help you rediscover your spark, set healthy boundaries, and find a sustainable balance in your life. Managing Stress and Anxiety: In our fast-paced world, stress and anxiety can feel like unwelcome roommates. I'm passionate about giving you practical tools to show these uninvited guests the door. We'll explore strategies to help you find calm in the chaos and peace in the storm. Lifting the Fog of Depression: Depression can cast a heavy shadow over your life, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable. I'm here to walk beside you through that darkness, helping you find pinpricks of light until eventually, the sun shines again. Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness—it's a testament to your strength and your desire for a better life. Whatever challenge you're facing, know that you don't have to face it alone. I'm here, ready to listen, to understand, and to help you navigate your path to healing and growth. Your journey is unique, and your therapy should be too. So, whether you're dealing with one of these issues or a combination of them, we'll tailor our approach to fit your specific needs and goals. Together, we'll work towards not just surviving these challenges, but thriving beyond them.
You deserve a space to heal and reconnect with yourself. Using a blend of trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, and attachment-focused work, we’ll create a personalized plan that helps you feel more grounded, self-assured, and ready to break free from the cycles keeping you stuck, and I’m here to help you take that first step.
