Therapy, But Better
I help people who are done with talk therapy and ready to make real changes in their life.
From my perspective are a few actual Therapeutic steps to becoming the person you want to be:
as per life, not always done in order :)
Step 1: Learn to be vulnerable, connect and reflect on issues in your life
Step 2: Clear and reprocess significant events creating blocks in your self worth or life goals
Step 3: Learn to be with yourself via meditation, challenging situations, pushing yourself beyond comfort zones
Step 4: Connect with your Inner Child and Shadows, learn to work with your Energy
Step 5: Face yourself on a deep level to witness who you can become and take the steps to integrate the needed psychological, cognitive, emotional, physical and energetic changes (see advanced protocols below)
This is your life journey. This is healing. This is getting all the things you want. It’s not easy. But it is totally worth it.

As a Psychotherapist specializing in Trauma and Chronic Illness, I consistently see people stuck talking about their same woes and patterns for months and years.
I created these processes because I needed them. Almost everyone still feels ugly, unimportant and less than others because of our early childhood experiences, even though it doesn’t make any sense!
My goal is to help you break these old paradigms that have been controlling your life and making you feel bad about yourself.
Intensive Protocol Testimonials
I have been working with Annies process for the past month. primarily focusing on addressing my childhood trauma. Throughout our sessions, Annie has provided a safe and supportive environment where I felt understood, supported and free to talk about everything and anything.
With her guidance, I have been able to delve deep into my past, uncovering and processing painful memories that I had buried for years. annie used a variety of therapeutic techniques to help me not only understand my feelings but also to gain control over them, rather than letting them dictate my reactions in various situations.
One of the most significant breakthroughs I experienced was learning how to acknowledge and validate my emotions without being overwhelmed by them. This has had a profound impact on my daily life, improving my relationships and overall mental well-being. I am incredibly grateful for the compassionate and insightful approach that Annie brings to every session.
I highly recommend Annie to anyone seeking to work through their trauma and develop healthier emotional responses. Her unique expertise and empathetic nature makes her an exceptional therapist.

Annie is an extremely gifted therapist. I participated in her therapy targeting inner child trauma. Going into it I was feeling a little apprehensive, unsure of what was going to turn up for me, not feeling sure if I was ready or perhaps that I needed to do some other work before going deeper. However I can confidently say Annie has crafted something very delicate and powerful and I came away from the experience with life changing realizations that have deepened my understanding of myself and how I can operate in the world
The therapy is spread over three sessions, each which felt individually potent and all worked together to create an environment of inner security, support and direction that made going deeper feel like a natural and welcome experience. Annie’s input was always coming from a place of curiosity, never judgement, and I was repeatedly impressed with her expert blend of perceptive skills with subtle directing towards the deeper work. During my final session I could feel some inner resistance that I was unable to get myself past, and it was through Annie’s guidance that I was able to break through and arrive at some very meaningful and beautiful new understandings of past trauma. All of which have lifted weight from my shoulders and given me a greater sense of purpose.
I’m very very grateful to have been able to share in Annie’s gift for guiding people to a deeper understanding of themselves and would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in inner work and integration.

My sessions with Annie have been life changing. I’ve been to talk therapy (all sorts of modalities) for over 15 years and with Annie I was able to access and heal parts of my psyche that I haven’t discovered before. I feel so much more empowered and with more energy. I am more positive and hopeful about the future and grateful for the past and present. Every session I learn new tools to be more in touch with my higher self and to have a more positive mindset. Overall, I feel more equipped to manage my emotions and live more aligned with my soul’s path. Annie is incredibly knowledgable and perceptive as well as warm and welcoming. Thanks Annie for helping me in my journey!

Working with Annie has taken my healing journey to a whole new level. The sources of pain and shame that I was able to access were so profound that I can now maneuver my limiting beliefs from a different plane. Annie guided me through one of the most visceral, dark and life-changing therapy sessions I’ve had. Her method is extremely powerful.

Annie, thank you so much for this therapy! You were able to reach places that no other therapist had reached in years. This therapy marked a before and after in me. I recommend it for anyone looking for a next level of knowledge and personal growth. The sessions with her are a super safe place and you feel accompanied at all times. I had never done EMDR therapy and I believe I couldn’t have ended up in a better place to do it.
Thanks a lot <3

I took Annie’s 4-Part program and was extremely pleased with the results. I had done EMDR before, but never together. Even the way she does EMDR is extremely profound. I found myself crying (in a good, healing way) within minutes of starting the session. The EMDR sessions go for like an hour, which is quite a lot more than I had done previously — and I felt a deeper impact as a result. And then the EMDR combination is truly next level. I had an insanely large release that made a very noticeable impact I am still feeling months later. Definitely don’t hesitate to reach out to Annie! It’s worth it.

Annie’s approach to inner child therapy with me was extremely effective. Using EMDR she helped me to identify childhood traumas which still caused patterns of behavior today which left me feeling stuck in very specific aspects of my life. In spite of trying to deal with these for my entire life I had been unable to truly identify the root cause and change them. Once identified she guided me to heal these traumas. The result of my experience with her has been truly transformational and led to a period of positive change in many aspects of my life. I am very grateful to Annie not only for her expertise, but also the wisdom that she brings to her counseling.

Working with Annie is intense, concentrated, and exhilarating. She brings brilliant focused attention to the work and guides incisively, helping one slice through to the heart of the matter like a diamond cutter. In three packed sessions, she helped me identify long-held beliefs and patterns, harvest the learnings and treasure from the trauma, release what no longer serves me, and find a new way going forward. She conscientiously teaches tools to solidify the learning; I feel confident more than a month after working with her to live and be in a new way. The experience continues to resonate and energize me. Thank you, Annie!

“This therapy has transformed my outlook on what I can achieve. I have been teaching in classrooms for 17 years and am now ready to take my knowledge and experience to a bigger stage.
Annie held space and facilitated this therapy in a beautifully curious way. She helped me identify my limiting belief on unworthiness, which has been affecting my love life as well as my career, and reprocess to where I feel I can achieve everything.”

“It’s not easy to put down in words this powerful healing experience yet I hope this will help. First of all a little spoiler: if you have the chance, DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! :)
Ok let’s go:
As all the best things in life, they find you without us needing to “chase” them. This is also how I met Annie and how the therapy session flowed into our lives. We basically took the chance that the universe offered us. We made it happen.
The experience was intense, deep, meaningful and positively impacted my life. I felt safe and taken care with love all the time. It was a joyful experience. It felt like tidying up and cleaning parts of myself that I was trying to look away from. It truly is a WOW experience. I feel clearly that the effect of what we worked on is still in process inside of me and helping me into the path of clarity, resilience and success.
During the first “main session” I had more and more clear and powerful realisations of my purpose in life! I still remember them SO clearly and the message is empowering and comforting at the same time. As said: just WOW..
The follow up sessions were as important since they refreshed the experience and consolidated the realisations (and the “gains”).
So, long story short: I warmly recommend to work with Annie. I hope this testimonial will motivate others to experience what I carry now inside of me as a “level up” on clarity and guidance. I am so grateful.”

"My primary goal was to break free from this core belief that had been negatively impacting how I perceived myself. The medicine combined with EMDR and brilliant supervision created a safe space where I was able to open the doors to a profound exploration of my psyche. It was a deeply introspective experience. I felt I dove into myself and finally met myself. The experience acted as a catalyst, allowing me to observe this belief from different angles, without the emotional attachments that had previously clouded my judgment. I was able to explore alternative perspectives and question the validity of the belief in a safe and non-judgmental space.
The aftermath was amazing. I experienced a profound shift in my self perception and emotional well being. The old belief that had once defined me no longer held the same power over my thoughts and actions. I am aware of the traps my mind has planted all these years, and am now able to spot them and take a different route for my thoughts.
The treatment provided me with a renewed sense of self, grounded in authenticity and self-acceptance, and gave me the tools to navigate life’s challenges with more assertiveness while being more kind and true to myself. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity, and would recommend this treatment to those seeking a greater sense of well-being.”

"For anyone seeking profound healing and growth, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring ICR with Annie. From the outset, Annie's expertise were tangible. During the preliminary session she skillfully guided me to delve into my inner landscape, aiding me in identifying a key limiting belief that unknowingly hindered my progress. Her unwavering support and perceptive insights laid the foundation for the deep work that was to follow. The main session was a voyage into the depths of my psyche. Annie's adept guidance created a safe haven for exploration, enabling me to confront and transmute my long held limitations. Finally the post session integration was also extremely valuable. Through introspective conversations and guided practices, Annie equipped me with the tools to weave the insights from my journey into my daily life. Annie has the ability to hold space with grace, empathy and deep insight. Her therapy has awakened a newfound sense of empowerment and self awareness. Highly Recommend!"

"I did the EMDR session with Annie with zero experience in other therapy forms and completely unbiased. What we achieved in just two sessions amazes me and helped me much more than I thought it could. The therapy was intense but totally worth it. After this session I feel that some traumas are healed, even weeks after my brain fog in the morning is gone and I'm generally more happy, grounded and have more control over myself. It also affected my self esteem a lot. I recommended this to all of my friends who are willing to work on themselves. Everything was highly structured, I never felt alone and as I said I am more than happy with what we achieved. Thank you again Annie :) "

"This summer, when I agreed to do therapy with Annie, I was hesitant and unsure about what to expect, but from our very first session, Annie created a safe and welcoming space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. Her empathy, compassion, and non-judgmental approach immediately put me at ease. Throughout our sessions, Annie displayed a remarkable ability to listen attentively and provide insightful perspectives. She helped me gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of my challenges and provided practical tools and strategies to address them.
What truly sets Annie apart is her genuine commitment to my well-being after the sessions. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard and supported, even outside of our scheduled sessions. Her dedication to my progress and her unwavering belief in my ability to grow and heal have been instrumental in my therapeutic journey. Thanks to Annie, I have made significant strides in managing my mental health and achieving a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. I now feel equipped with the tools and coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges more effectively.
Annie has not only been a therapist but also a guide and a source of inspiration on my path to personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend Annie to anyone seeking support and guidance on their own journey toward healing and self-discovery. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication have made a profound impact on my life, and I am truly grateful for the positive changes she has helped me achieve."

"I'm no stranger to working on myself. I've been in therapy on and off for 20 years and have consumed more personal development books and courses than I could possibly count. And that's in addition to my regular self-care and emotional wellness practices! I've experienced a ton of personal growth due to all of these experiences, but before I decided to work with Annie I still felt stuck in past patterns, identities, and experiences. I felt a disconnect between who I deeply KNEW I was in the present and who I saw myself being on a daily basis, and that was really frustrating. I felt like there was something I was missing, and I didn't want to accept that I would need who knows how many more years of inner work to close that gap.
My results from working with Annie in ICR can only be described as this - it felt like my brain, nervous system, and identity all finally caught up to each other on the same timeline. After our sessions (as well as in the weeks that have followed), I felt a clear sense of being changed. Not just that, but I am now able to clearly see that I am a different person, and no longer feel like I have to continue acting out the past. I see myself making different, more empowering choices, and more quickly learning the lessons that life presents to me.
If you feel like you've tried everything, and it hasn't worked as much as you feel it should have in the time you've put into it, work with Annie. She will catapult you forward and allow you to finally integrate and benefit from the work you've done, as well as the work you do in your sessions with her."

"Working with Annie is like inner child magic. In rapid time I was able to connect with her and go deep into the root issues. Annie naturally held space for me in a nurturing and confident way, from the preparation sessions, clearly mapping out what I want to work on, to the integration afterwards. There is an immense relief to feel this seen, held and guided on a journey."

Annie helped me deal with some overwhelming c ptsd thru her emdr protocol. Her prompts challenged me enough to allow for some major shifts to occur. Her gentle approach provided a safe container and that allowed me to lean into the rawness of emotion that presented organically out of the session work.
Her informed approach to emdr definitely resonated with my ongoing healing work separate from her practice. If you are approaching your work from a healing rather than symptomatic relief perspective, her practice will definitely guide u along and take u deeper along that path.
