Therapy and Life Coaching · Oklahoma

For the one who took care of everyone else — it's your turn now.

You were the responsible one. The helper. The peacekeeper. And somewhere along the way, you lost track of yourself. The patterns running your life now didn't appear out of nowhere. They made sense once. I work with people-pleasers, empaths, highly sensitive and neurodivergent people, as well as couples stuck in the same cycles, through therapy and coaching, to help you understand yourself, change what isn't working, and build a life that actually fits.

Does this sound familiar?

Is this you?

You're the one everyone leans on. You give great advice, hold space for others, and look completely fine from the outside. But you go home exhausted, wondering why you can't apply any of that wisdom to your own life. You've said yes when you meant no. Made yourself smaller to keep the peace. Put everyone else first for so long that you've lost track of what you actually want.

You're not broken. You're just tired of abandoning yourself. And ready to stop.

Two Paths, One Approach

Therapy or coaching — which is right for you?

Both draw on the same honest, compassionate approach. The difference is in focus and structure.

Who I Work With

You might recognize yourself here

I work with individuals and couples. Often people who appear capable and put-together on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. Many are empaths, high-functioning individuals, or people who have spent years abandoning themselves to earn love — and are finally ready to stop.

For couples: the same argument on repeat, the distance that grows without explanation, the reactions neither of you fully understands. We slow it down, look at what's actually happening underneath, and build something more honest between you.

"My life has truly changed for the better since I began life coaching with Annie. We started at a time in my life where I had dreams for myself, but didn't even think about trying to pursue them out of fear. She shifted my perspective on success and dreams and has challenged me to question the reasoning behind some of my limiting beliefs. The way Annie coaches is supportive, encouraging, challenging and highly effective. I always leave our sessions with some sort of revelation about myself that I carry into my week."

"Working with Anne has helped me turn my insecurities into assets and also made me brave enough to overcome my limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns. Anne is encouraging, motivating, and inspiring, and she always asks straightforward, professional questions that are on-point and come at the right time. Her open and kind personality made me feel really comfortable and supported and I truly love working with her."

"I have spent the past two years going to a Psychologist regularly to work through some of my traumatic experiences. However, it wasn't before I met Annie that I finally experienced that the tools became practical and doable. Annie has an ability of its own to understand her client and put herself in their shoes, and therefore meet them where they are. She is incredibly talented to show empathy, and attune to the client and their current situation. As a client, you easily develop a bond of trust with her, and experience being safe and seen. Thank you so much for everything you have given me!"
