What makes Annie a trauma therapist for executives specifically?

Most therapy isn't built for a woman who can articulate her patterns with clinical precision while still being completely run by them. Annie's 15,000+ clinical hours have been disproportionately with Silicon Valley leaders, physicians, attorneys, and founders — people whose external lives look impressive and whose nervous systems tell a different story.

Do you offer online trauma therapy in California and other states?

Yes. Annie is licensed to provide online trauma therapy in nine states — California, New York, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia, and D.C. Executive coaching is available worldwide because coaching is not state-licensed.

What's the difference between therapy and trauma-informed executive coaching with you?

Therapy is regulated clinical work for healing relational trauma and is only available in states where Annie is licensed. Trauma-informed executive coaching is forward-looking work for ambitious women navigating leadership, burnout, and the specific ways trauma shows up in high-stakes professional lives.

Is this the right fit if I've already done years of therapy?

Often, yes. Many clients arrive after insight-based therapy gave them vocabulary but not change. This work is somatic, relational, and foundation-level — designed for women who understand their story and want what comes next.

How long does this kind of work take?

Foundation work is not a six-session intervention. Most clients work together weekly for at least a year — some considerably longer. The pace honors the nervous system rather than rushing it.

What does a first session look like?

The first session is spacious and low-pressure. You talk about what brought you. Annie listens clinically and warmly, reflects back what she's hearing, and explains how she'd approach the work. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of whether this is the right fit.

Do you take insurance?

Annie is a private-pay practice. She can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if your insurance offers it. Most clients choose private pay specifically because it keeps their clinical record out of insurance systems.

What's the first step if I think this is for me?

Start with a consultation. It's a brief call to see whether the fit is right, answer your questions, and explain next steps. There is no pressure to commit on the call.
