Theoretical Orientaion
Psychodynamic, Existential, Jungian, Transpersonal,Mindfulness-Based, Creative Arts (music, painting, cinema), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), and Nervous-System Informed.
Along with all of the above, Anna Marie is LGBTQIA+ affirming (using she/they pronouns) and committed to social-justice oriented work — rooted in an awareness of how systems of racism, sexism, anti-queerness, fatphobia, and monogamy all affect how we view ourselves and others. When working with partners, Anna Marie also uses elements of Attachment Theory and the Gottman Method. Either with a single client or multiple, she always tries to find the best fit + combination for each client’s clinical concern and personality style.
As a psychotherapist, Anna Marie helps her clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and developing insight around what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world. They work together with their clients to create a space that feels warm, safe, and healing — and ultimately restores a sense of joy, play, and hope. She teaches patients how to be curious about emotional patterns, how to communicate effectively, and develop tools to slow down when life inevitably gets overwhelming.
Before earning her M.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University, Anna Marie studied cognitive psychology, philosophy, and linguistics. She also attended a performing arts high school where she had four intensive years of training in voice, theatre, and dance. They’re a life-long artist and researcher, and always excited to work with artists (professional or otherwise) exploring the unique stressors and ways of thinking that are tied up in being a creative person — but also helping folks that are scientifically minded to understand the mechanisms involved in psychology and mental wellbeing. All of her unique interests allow her to be sincerely curious and equipped with multi-faceted ways of conceptualizing a client.
Anna Marie also has an Advanced Certificate in Sexuality, Women, & Gender with an LGBTQ+ focus. As a queer-identifying person, they have first-hand experience with the challenges that come with making sense of fluid identities that fall outside of the norm and finding ways to find strength and joy in spite of them.
Anna Marie is an artist, and a certified meditation and yoga instructor. They love watching films with their long-distance partner, going to art museums, listening to a wide-range of music, watercolor painting, playing video games and board games like chess, and traveling to new cities and countries. Her hometown is Lakeland, FL so she has a soft spot for the serenity of the ocean… and also the thrill of a good roller coaster.
