As a licensed therapist with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University, Annie brings a wealth of specialized training to her practice. Her expertise in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) allows her to provide tailored support for a wide range of clients, from individuals navigating personal challenges to couples and families seeking to strengthen their relationships.

Annie's additional training in working with high-conflict families and trauma-informed care equips her to handle complex interpersonal dynamics and sensitive situations with skill and compassion. She specializes in helping children, adolescents, young adults, and families who are dealing with life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, everyday stress, or trauma.

She believes in the transformative power of hope and the therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively with clients to explore the roots of their distress and implement effective tools for healing and growth. Annie's goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and work towards positive change.

Beyond her professional expertise, Annie brings a warm and relatable presence to her practice. She finds joy in traveling, music, and spending quality time with her golden retriever, Laddie Boy. Her ability to find humor and appreciation in life's quirks adds a comforting dimension to her therapeutic style, helping clients feel at ease during their sessions.

Understanding that the prospect of starting therapy can be daunting, Annie offers a free 15-minute phone call or email exchange to prospective clients.
