Annie (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in the state of Indiana. She earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marian University and has experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns.

Annie is passionate about creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, empowered, understood, and supported. She recognizes that every person brings their own experiences, strengths, identities, and challenges into therapy and believes treatment should reflect the individual—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Annie has a special interest in working with individuals navigating ADHD, perfectionism, body image concerns, and eating disorders, including Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). She enjoys helping clients better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while developing greater self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence in themselves.

In her work with ADHD and perfectionism, Annie supports clients in exploring the impact that expectations, self-criticism, executive functioning challenges, and feelings of not doing or being “enough” can have on everyday life. Rather than focusing solely on changing behaviors, she helps clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and identify strategies that work with their individual needs and strengths.

Annie also enjoys supporting clients who experience challenges related to food and body image. She understands that eating concerns can look different from person to person and has a particular interest in working with individuals with ARFID, including those navigating fear, avoidance, sensory experiences, or other barriers that make eating difficult.

Annie primarily draws from Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also incorporates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness when helpful. Her approach is collaborative, and she works alongside each client to determine which strategies and therapeutic approaches best fit their needs and goals.

Above all, Annie wants clients to have a space where they can show up as themselves. Together, she and her clients work toward greater understanding, meaningful change, and a life that feels more aligned with who they are and what matters most to them.
