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. Somewhere along the way, you lost track of yourself. I work with people-pleasers, highly sensitive and neurodivergent people, and couples caught in exhausting cycles, through therapy and coaching, to help you build a life that actually fits.

Annie Urstad, LPC-A
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

Individuals: You're the one who has it together. The one everyone calls when things fall apart, the one who's learned to shrink and wonder if you're too much, too sensitive, too needy. You can't remember the last time you let someone take care of you instead of the other way around. If you're an empath, a high-functioning person who's quietly drowning, or someone who has spent years abandoning yourself to earn love, this is where that stops.

Couples: The same argument on repeat. The distance that grows without explanation. Often it's one of you reaching and the other pulling back, shaped by patterns you each learned long before this relationship. Understanding where it comes from doesn't mean excusing what isn't working. We slow it down, get specific about what's actually happening, and build a practical way forward, together.

Coaching with me

"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."

Annie 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."
