About me

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate clinical experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for exploring personal growth, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating relationship dynamics, and people experiencing mood-related difficulties.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, addiction recovery, sexuality, exploration, and personal empowerment. With expertise in supporting diverse relationship structures and identities, I help clients develop self-love, clarify life purpose, and heal from family dynamics.

I'm committed to providing a non-judgmental, progressive environment where individuals can authentically explore their emotional landscape, build resilience, and create meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're working through life challenges, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional insight.

I am really enjoying Ann Marie as a therapist, I’ve seen a few others before with no luck on progress or feeling heard and seen the way that made therapy feel worth it. Ann Marie provides me the tools and caters to who I am as an individual to work out methods for my mental health improvements. I’m very appreciative to have found her.

Ann-Marie is the supportive yet direct person everyone wants in their lives, while she is compassionate and empathetic she is also very validating but allows for a reality check of sorts. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing support and wanting to really change their lives!

Ann-Marie is the best therapist I’ve ever had. It’s hard to explain that sufficiently. I’m more healed than I ever thought I could be - and we’re still going strong!

Ann-Marie is one of those rare gems who combines decades of expertise and continuous learning with good humor, deep wisdom, and heartfelt compassion. She balances perfectly between no-nonsense reality and boundless mercy. Her spiritual maturity and integration make her an invaluable resource in my journey to wholeness. If you’re looking for a therapist who navigates the gray and complex areas of life with nuance and grace, you can’t go wrong with Ann-Marie.
