(she/her )
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s emotional challenges. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence‑based therapeutic practices. I’m committed to helping you navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or personal growth with compassion and practical tools tailored to your needs. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and begin building the life you want. Healing and growth are possible, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take the first step toward meaningful change.
Feeling comfortable and understood in therapy is essential, and it’s completely normal for the first few sessions to feel new or uncertain. I encourage you to give yourself 2–3 sessions to settle in, get a sense of our connection, and find a rhythm that feels right. In these early conversations, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy—what feels painful, overwhelming, or simply not working as well as you’d like. You’ll have space to share your story at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin identifying the changes you hope to make and the goals you want to work toward. My priority is to ensure you feel supported, respected, and grounded as we begin this journey.
I bring deep passion, hope, and clinical expertise to every session. My work is guided by integrity, curiosity, and genuine care. You can expect a therapeutic space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered. I’m committed to helping you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and move toward healing with confidence.
I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals who are seeking meaningful emotional and mental health support. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, chronic illness, or the complexities of everyday stress, I strive to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel safe to explore and grow. My approach blends empathy with evidence‑based strategies to help you develop coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and fulfillment. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more grounded, more understood, and more capable of creating the life you want.

It’s my first time ever in therapy. I have had psychiatrists and medications, but my fear of possibly not liking a therapist, or my shutdown nature when the process of finding one was too hard, I never have. She made my first experience amazing, very strong communication on who she is as a therapist. This made me feel super comfortable, and willing to finally do this therapy thing, and not just a psychiatrist, as amazing as my psychiatrist is! Anne is absolutely amazing! I already feel better!🥰

Instantly felt a connection with Anne on the first visit. I will add more as we continue our sessions.

Anne is great at helping me always try to understand the WHY of a situation. When we find the WHY, she helps me understand where to go from there. She is open and empowering, and focuses on the root cause of a situation. For her to be my first ever therapist, I don't think I could have found a better fit for my needs and current circumstances.
