About Anne
Do you look like you have it all together, but internally feel like you might lose your shit the next time someone tells you to “just breathe”? When people ask how you are doing, you give the default answers of “fine” or “living the dream” even though it feels more like you are stuck in a fog, going through the motions and quietly overwhelmed.
Maybe you are the reliable one. The high functioning, Type A, always helpful person that others count on. You show up for everyone else, but when it comes to yourself you are running on empty. You’re dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout or lingering affects of trauma, but pushing through is no longer working.
Hi, I’m Anne, if this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and board approved Clinical Supervisor with 19 years of experience providing therapy for adolescents and adults. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, life transitions and chronic stress. I’ve learned that life doesn’t have to look “bad” from the outside to feel incredibly hard on the inside. Whether you’re dealing with high functioning anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help you slow down, gain clarity, and feel more in control. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boston College in 2007 and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Practitioner, with advanced training in trauma informed care and evidence based approaches to treatment.
Outside of therapy, I rely on a strong cup on Dunkin’ coffee, a good playlist, my Kindle and comfort shows like Gilmore Girls, The Office and Schitt’s Creek. I’m the kind of introvert people assume is an extrovert; someone who uses humor (and occasionally strategic denial) to get through life.
If you’re looking for therapy for anxiety, trauma, depression or just feeling overwhelmed by life, you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
That’s enough about me, I’m more interested in you and your story.

Approach to Therapy
With more than 19 years of experience in mental health, I take a direct, no nonsense approach to therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy in Texas and virtual therapy across Texas, I focus on real conversation, not scripted sessions or overwhelming clinical jargon.
When you work with me, you can expect authenticity, honesty, and practice strategies you can use outside of session. I believe effective therapy is built on trust, open communication and sometimes saying things exactly how they are (yes, that can include the occasional curse word).
I use a blend of evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to your specific needs, goals and experiences. My work often includes:
Client Centered Therapy: You are the focus. We’ll identify what matters most to you and build sessions around your goals, not a one size fits all plan.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We’ll look at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected, identify patterns that aren’t working, and develop realistic coping strategies to create change.
Strength Based Therapy: You already have strengths and resources even though they may not feel obvious right now. We’ll identify and build on them so you can navigate challenges with more confidence.
Trauma Therapy: Understanding the way in which trauma can impact your life can be powerful as you process traumatic experiences and build resiliency.
I provide virtual therapy for adults across Texas, making it easier to access support from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re looking for therapy for anxiety, trauma therapy, depression counseling, or support with life transitions and stress, you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own.
