LMFT, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi there, I am Anie. I know that taking that first step toward support is difficult but courageous. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, using CBT, DBT, and a client-centered approach to meet each person where they are. If you're ready to explore healing and change in a safe, compassionate space, I'd be honored to walk that journey with you.
In our first session, we'll get to know each other in a calm, supportive space. I'll ask questions to understand what's been going on and what brought you in. There's no pressure to share anything you're not ready for; we'll go at your pace. It's normal to feel nervous, but this first step is about connection, not perfection.
My journey into the mental health field began when I noticed a deep need in my church community to openly talk about mental health people were struggling in silence, and I felt called to help. What started as a desire to support others quickly became a passion, leading me to graduate school, where I completed my practicum at a crisis house working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, addiction, trauma, and homelessness, to name a few things. That experience showed me just how powerful therapy can be, even simply being a listening ear can bring light to someone’s darkest moments. What continues to motivate me today is walking alongside clients as they heal, grow, and realize they don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone.
My ideal client is someone who is ready to say, "I can't do this alone anymore" and is looking for a safe, compassionate space where they can finally put their burdens down and talk openly, without any fear of judgment. Your goal isn't just to cope; it’s to step out of the silence and rediscover your strength, working toward healing, growth, and the beautiful realization that you don't have to carry it all by yourself.
Using a secure telehealth connection, we practice CBT to explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You'll gain practical, lasting tools to reframe unhelpful patterns and create more positive outcomes in your life.
Telehealth provides a safe space to examine how your past relational experiences influence your present. We focus on healing old wounds and developing a more secure, confident sense of self, which naturally leads to healthier relationships.
I offer faith-informed counseling through a secure platform for those interested, integrating Christian values and spirituality with established therapeutic techniques. This approach helps clients find meaning, purpose, and God-centered solutions to life's challenges.
My approach focuses on your existing strengths, successful moments, and goals for the future. Via telehealth, we identify small, immediate steps you can take to construct solutions and create change efficiently.
I provide a foundation of deep empathy and non-judgment through our virtual sessions. The work centers on your needs, empowering you to explore your experiences, increase self-awareness, and trust your innate capacity for healing and growth.
