I look forward to assisting those curious about taking a closer look at their life and the problems that come with it. We will work together to better understand where these problems started and what we can do to address them. This may sound intimidating to some, but you will be surprised how it feels more like a conversation than anything. Comfort in our sessions together will always be a priority first and foremost. It is normal to feel stiff or awkward at first, after all, you are talking to a stranger about the most personal things in your life, so take your time.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. I work with children learning to identify and manage big emotions, teens who feel overwhelmed or misunderstood, adults who are exhausted from holding everything together, and individuals with autism experiencing burnout. You may be navigating mood challenges, trauma, or major life transitions. What you deserve most is compassion, patience, and a space that feels safe, supportive, and free from judgment.

Hi! I’m Annie - I’m a provisionally licensed counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from WVU. Starting therapy can feel like a huge leap outside your comfort zone, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to show up exactly as you are and to build trust at a pace that feels right for you. My approach to therapy is eclectic and collaborative in nature. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I draw from different methods based on your needs and what has (or hasn’t!) worked for you.
