I also work closely with Asian American and minority clients navigating family conflict, intergenerational trauma, perfectionism, and cultural identity.
Life can feel heavy at times. Stress, anxiety, past experiences, and constant expectations can make it hard to feel present, hopeful, or at peace. When everything feels overwhelming, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure where to begin. Therapy offers a space to pause, breathe, and take meaningful steps forward at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing doesn’t have to be done alone. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and support as you work toward greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment.

You might be noticing some concerning changes in your child, or maybe your family has just gone through something that shook your world.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who prioritizes the parent-child relationship, because therapy for your child should also be a place where you are valued and supported as your child’s most important relationship. Therapy with me typically includes both Child-Centered Play Therapy sessions, in conjunction with reflective parenting sessions.

I have over 20 years experience working with clients who are overloaded from the stress of daily life, school, work and family obligations.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution focused therapy as well as relational and strength-based approach. If you would like, I also work with my lab Jolie. Pet therapy has been shown to reduce stress, increase rapport and help clients to become more cognizant of emotional reactions and support resiliency. Pet therapy is optional.

I am a partner of 35 years, proud mother of a transgender adult daughter, and a "bonus" chosen family son.
Are you Alternative? Think "outside the box"? Are you regaining / retooling your Self Worth and Relationship Skills? I can help. Over the past 35 years as a therapist, I find clients I work well with want a nonjudgmental, alternative knowledgeable/ friendly, expert therapist. All my services are provided from a base philosophy that is non-pathologizing and emphasizes strengths not deficits. You and I then use my skills and experience, and your knowledge about yourself and your situation to find good paths forward based on your priorities and needs – finding out what those are is often our first task.

Welcome! I'm Anne and I offer a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and connect with yourself. My style is relational and compassionately direct with a large dose of humor (when appropriate). I work with clients on a variety of issues, including trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, personal growth, identity, depression, anxiety, stress, and neurodiversity. With some clients I use EMDR, a powerful modality that while most associated with PTSD and trauma, can be used for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, phobias, low self-esteem, as well as many other issues.

I find Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Internal Family Systems, & EMDR pair well with this approach to add more practical tools for emotional regulation, coping, and trauma-informed care practices.
To be a human tasked with enduring life's wonders, joys, and sorrows can feel absurd, beautiful, and crushing all at once. The weight of it all and the effort it takes to find balance among such complex experiences can leave us feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves and others. If you're here because you're grieving, overwhelmed, fearful, or simply longing to live more authentically, welcome. You’ve already taken an intentional step by being here, acknowledging that you’re worthy of care and of a life that feels aligned and meaningful.

As a person, do you find yourself struggling to maintain a balance between fulfilling spiritual, cultural, familial and societal obligations? Do you feel like you have lost your sense of identity while juggling such obligations? In a world full of unrealistic and forced expectations, people often are accused of being rebellious, guilty or selfish when they choose to focus on themselves and their needs. Secretly battling and wounded, many people find themselves to be depressed, anxious, angry, disappointed and unfulfilled.

You’re the one everyone relies on—steady, capable, and always holding it together. But inside, you’re exhausted. The stress never really shuts off, and even rest feels like another task. You second-guess yourself, avoid conflict, and pour energy into others while neglecting your own needs. Relationships feel uneven, and no matter how much you achieve, peace still feels out of reach. You want relief from the constant pressure—to feel calm, grounded, and finally at home in your own life. You’re ready to stop living in survival mode and start feeling like yourself again. You just need a space where it’s safe to exhale.

Life can be messy. Sometimes, in an attempt to find safety, we may try to push ourselves and our lives to be clean, perfect, and free from pain. I’ve been there. But what many of us need when we’re hurting is not to push and prod ourselves - instead, it often helps to slow down and invite some gentleness and self-compassion into our bodies. This is where I believe therapy can come into play. As a clinician, I'm dedicated to using these strategies to support those with concerns around complex trauma, body image, eating disorders, and all the many challenges of being beautifully human.
