Empowering weary, overwhelmed therapists to cultivate a lifestyle of healing connection to revive purpose, passion, and presence.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and consultation for therapists all over Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, and Florida
You’re a therapist…
You have worked hard to build a successful career and a badass business.
You are good at what you do.
Great even!
And yet…
You aren’t so sure anymore.
You care about people, confident this is what you were meant to do…
…at least you used to care…you were confident…
What happened? Purpose…Passion…
where did it go??
Weary…overwhelmed…burnt-out…you find more days than not you are simply ‘going through the motions.’ It feels like your heart is just not “in it” anymore.
Yet you cannot imagine doing anything else - even if you sometimes fantasize about becoming a used bookstore owner and barista in a small coastal town far, far away…
You feel weighed-down. A sense of failure and self-doubt hangs in the air around you, sometimes making it hard to breathe. You look at your schedule for the day ahead, and you notice dread…and even feel a little cringe deep inside as you scan the names…
This is NOT how it’s supposed to be. This isn’t how it’s always been.
You are crispy…burnt…about to crumble….
You never wanted a life that you NEEDED a vacation from…but here you are, living for weekends and vacations that don’t even give you the refresh or reset that you really need. It’s never enough.
You are tired.
Tired of always giving to others and taking care of everyone around you, yet no one cares for you…
Tired of ignoring your own pain, pretending it doesn’t affect you…
but it does…
And sometimes it even shows up in the therapy room with you…
You know therapy can help
But idea of therapy also fills you with dread.
You have been to therapy (a lot). You have talked about your pain, about your self-doubt, about all the things (over and over and over and over).
You are SICK of talking about it. Sick of thinking about it. If you could talk or think your way through it - you would be THROUGH it. Many times over.
You are sick of coping skills. You are sick of ‘reframing negative thoughts.” You are sick of all the self-care talk, as if you don’t have enough on your “To Do” list!
And if one more person…one more therapist asks you, “what would you say to your client?” You are going to lose your sh*t!
You are ready for HEALING.
Therapy has felt like you’re just taking a lawn mower over the weeds - it works for a while, you experience some relief, you start to feel a little better, but the weeds just keep growing back…the pain is still there. YOUR pain.
What if you could find a way to actually get rid of those “weeds” and actually heal those wounds? What if we could go in and gently get those roots, so they wouldn’t keep growing back?
Then…not only would you not have to “mow” anymore, but there would be space for beautiful things to grow and flourish.
Space for YOU to grow and flourish!
Hi! I’m Annie.
Therapy has always been important to me. My own healing journey inspires me to walk with others as they move toward healing.
When I became a therapist, my own therapy became even more important. Not just my own therapy - but my healing. Real healing. It deeply imprinted on me that in order to consistently show up for others, I had to show up for myself - by doing my own healing work.
My own need for healing kept me searching beyond the traditional therapy modalities. I needed more, and I knew that there were others like me out there. I needed something deeper; something that could touch the roots of those weeds that were planted years ago.
I studied; I read; I attended trainings. Each new thing I hoped would be that ‘magic wand’ that would allow me to declare myself ‘healed.’
I now consider myself a ‘healing healer.’
When I stumbled upon Internal Family Systems (IFS), there was something that resonated with me immediately. And while this definitely isn’t a magic wand, it is absolutely transformative. Personally and professionally.
I dove in. And I’ve dedicated myself to not only learning, but embodying this IFS thing…not only as a model of therapy, but as a way of life. It has shifted how I see myself, the world, my clients.
