mental flexibility trainer
Anne Marie brings together nearly three decades of professional and lived experience to her practice.
Anne Marie was home-schooled (in the 90s, when it was still weird) and went on to earn her bachelor's degree in graphic communication from Clemson University in 2001. She has held positions at Berklee College of Music, London Scandinavian School, and Moonbug Entertainment. She completed the ADHD coach coursework at ADDCA in 2023 and began her graduate studies at Jacksonville University is on track to graduate in August 2026. She is completing her clinical internship on-site at Florida Psychological Associates in Fernandina Beach, FL, and will continue on towards licensure.
Drawn to existential philosophy and functional contextualism, Anne Marie's ongoing clinical work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on psychological flexibility and values clarification. She brings playfulness, nerdiness, depth, and practical insight to her work, helping clients of all ages explore and expand their capacity for living meaningful, purposeful lives.
The ability to stay fully grounded in the present moment while choosing behavior that aligns with one’s values—even in the presence of difficult thoughts, emotions, or bodily sensations. .
Emphasizing strengths, values, and adaptive processes that contribute to well-being, resilience, and human flourishing.
Intentional use of therapeutic language and strategic conversation to shift the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Incorporating play in the therapy relieves the pressure to “find the right words" and taps into nonverbal symbolism to express, process, and make sense of the inner world.
Exploring life's hardest questions for greater clarity, resilience and a deeper sense of purpose.
The practice of acting in line with your values (rather than impulsivity, avoidance or short-term comfort)—learning to stay open to your internal experience while choosing actions that reflect the life you want to build.
