she/her

Hello and welcome.  I’m Anne, a therapist who's dedicated to creating a warm and comfortable space for individuals of all ages to navigate life's challenges. With 16 years of experience in mental health work, I've had the pleasure of helping children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds find their inner strength and thrive. I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy in helping individuals develop resilience, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of empowerment. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from Radford University.

I believe strongly in the worth and dignity of every single person. I'm dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and affirming care to individuals who may face discrimination, prejudice, or systemic barriers. Together, we'll create a therapeutic space where you can explore your identity, process your experiences, navigate societal pressures, and build resilience in the face of adversity. I've seen firsthand the incredible transformations that can happen when individuals are empowered to embrace their authentic selves. Whether it's helping children navigate their emotions, supporting teens through the rollercoaster of adolescence, or assisting adults on their path to self-discovery, I'm here to provide the support you need to thrive. And if you’re in a space of just making it to the next day, I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate through mental health crises and figure out how to just put one foot in front of the other.  It's no secret that severe depression, anxiety, and trauma can have long-lasting effects on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. That's why I approach therapy with a trauma-informed lens, creating a safe space for you to process your experiences, heal from past wounds, and build resilience.

Enabling families and children to communicate effectively and advocate for themselves is another area close to my heart. I firmly believe that healthy family dynamics, connection to community and open communication are key to positive mental health outcomes. So, let's work together to strengthen your family bonds, improve communication skills, and create a nurturing environment where everyone feels heard and understood.

Your therapy sessions will be person-centered and guided by evidence-based practice models. I believe that each person is unique, and deserves a personalized approach to therapy. So, we'll work together to craft a plan that suits your specific needs and goals. Whether it's Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we'll find what works best for you. I love using art, games, music, visualization, and body work techniques to explore internal processes and get the most out of the therapeutic process. 

I believe asking for help is one of the bravest things anyone can do. It takes courage to reach out and seek support, and I'm truly honored to be considered a partner in your journey. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can find your voice, discover your inner strength, and create lasting positive change.
