How I work with clients

I look forward to working with you to move in a new direction, with more authenticity and intention. We will collaborate to find the right approach so you can make needed changes in your life. That may mean exploring your values, using mindfulness, or working on skills to help you regulate your body and engage in life in a more present, more meaningful way. We will address your concerns with the care they deserve, while allowing space for laughter, tears, weight, and levity.

As mentioned on my home page, I maintain a smaller counseling practice because it works for me and for my clients.  When I see fewer clients each day I have time to take care of myself, so I can focus on and support you better when we are together.   I have more time to prepare myself for sessions and to respond to your needs.  If you leave me a message, I will get back to you.  And occasionally, when life happens, being flexible means we can usually find an alternate time to accommodate the unexpected.   some background

I became a therapist after 20 years as a Spanish teacher…it’s never too late to make a change! I have an appreciation for different cultures and identities that originated growing up outside of Washington, D.C., and I carry that into my current life as a reader, traveler, advocate, and counselor.

more about anne

When I’m not working with clients, I love spending time outdoors. I spend lots of time on hiking trails in and around Missoula throughout the year; I love paddle-boarding when the weather warms up; and I take lots of photos of the outdoors. My other favorite things are reading, spending time with loved ones (including my dog), traveling, and music.
