A Holistic and Relational Approach to Healing

Annemarie believes that healing happens in the context of safety, connection, and meaning. Her approach is grounded in the understanding that we are not just minds or bodies—but whole beings shaped by our relationships, experiences, culture, and environment.

Drawing from both modern neuroscience and timeless wisdom traditions, Annemarie creates a therapeutic space that honors each client’s unique story. She integrates insights from Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Existential Therapy, and the Indigenous Medicine Wheel to support healing on emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual levels.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, or a search for deeper purpose, Annemarie walks alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

An Integrative, Heart-Centered Approach

Annemarie’s work is deeply informed by a blend of modern neuroscience, relational psychology, Indigenous wisdom, and existential insight. These frameworks guide her in creating a safe, respectful, and meaningful space for healing.

The Medicine Wheel

Rooted in Indigenous teachings, the Medicine Wheel offers a holistic view of well-being—honoring the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life. Annemarie respectfully integrates this wisdom to support balance, connection to nature, and healing that honors the whole person.

Polyvagal Theory

This science of the nervous system helps us understand how safety, connection, and threat are experienced in the body. Annemarie uses this lens to help clients gently regulate their nervous systems, move out of survival states like fight, flight, or freeze, and return to a sense of calm, connection, and presence.

Attachment Theory

Our earliest relationships shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Annemarie supports clients in exploring these patterns with compassion, helping them build secure, trusting connections—both in therapy and in their lives.

Existential Therapy

Life’s big questions—about meaning, purpose, freedom, and mortality—can feel overwhelming or isolating. Annemarie creates space for clients to explore these themes with honesty and courage, helping them find clarity, direction, and a deeper sense of self.
