About Me

Hi, I’m Anne, and I’m here to offer you support without stigma.

I work from a place of deep compassion and non-judgment, believing firmly that we all have the
capacity for growth and healing. We are resilient, adaptive creatures who develop strategies to
survive and thrive. We do what we need to do to make it through the day. But sometimes, old
coping mechanisms don't work for us anymore. Through insight, curiosity, and the safety of a
strong therapeutic relationship, we can explore together how your past strategies may be keeping
you stuck, and discover new ways of being, feeling, thinking, and relating that align with who
you are now and who you want to become.

I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly those
exploring gender and sexuality later in life. I’m also experienced working with academics,
caregivers, parents of children with disabilities, bodyworkers, healthcare professionals, energy
workers and activists experiencing burnout. Past internship and volunteer roles included work
with houseless clients, in a student counseling center at a naturopathic college, on a women’s
crisis line and in a domestic violence shelter. I'm kink-aware, sex-positive, and experienced with
clients who practice ethical non-monogamy and/or polyamory.

My approach is relational and client-centered, drawing on Control Mastery Theory, Narrative
Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness practices. I bring a unique interdisciplinary
perspective to my practice, grounded in both a PhD in Cultural Studies and an MSW in Clinical
Social Work. My professional journey has woven through higher education, DEI consulting,
leadership coaching and nonprofit work, giving me deep insight into how systems, cultures, and
identities shape our lived experiences.
