- Hi there, I'm Annie.
As a counselor, I love helping my clients find new coping skills to help them manage their negative feelings surrounding infertility. I do this through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and completed The Gottman Level I Marriage Counseling training. My experience as a Parent Educator and Pre-k teacher gave me an understanding of early childhood development and family relationships, which is an area I still love to work in.I received my bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Utah and a Masters of Social Work from Utah State University. Most of my previous work was through the school system. I worked for Salt Lake City School District as a Parent Educator and Pre-Kindergarten teacher and then interned as a School Social Worker for Murray City School District. I began working as a counselor for Utah Infertility Resource Center as a Masters of Social Work Intern and was officially hired on after I graduated. Going through my own personal experience with infertility has given me a passion to help others work through the difficulties that come with family building.
If I sound like I might be a fit for you, give me a call and let's talk about what you'd like to address. Therapy is a sacred space and I'd love to walk along side you.
