Hi, I’m Anne.
Welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, based in Whitefish, MT providing in person and online therapy and coaching for adults and adolescents.
My therapeutic practice is dedicated to serving a diverse clientele, including highly sensitive individuals, neurodivergent minds, artists, introverts, intuitives and those who feel like outsiders. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a place in this world, and my approach is centered on affirming queer and alternative identities. I work to foster collective liberation, while giving concrete skills to manage the day to day anxiety, stress and obstacles.
