About Annie
I work actively with diverse clients to harness their inner resources and vitality, to transform self-limiting beliefs and engage more fully and powerfully in relationships, work and life.
I was trained in Psychodynamic Theory, an over the decades have integrated Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology, AEDP and other models. Clients, consultees and students describe me as warm, grounded, approachable, and effective.
For over 30 years, I have collaborated with clients and executive leaders to address interpersonal effectiveness; stress management; work/life balance; relationship challenges; midlife adjustment; parenting and caretaking issues; anxiety and excessive guilt.
I am a Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist and Consultant, and a Certified Group Psychotherapist.
I received a B.A. cum laude from Yale University, and an MSW from Smith College, and completed doctoral-level coursework in Organizational Psychology and Leadership Development at William James College. I taught in the postgraduate training program at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy (BIP), coached executives at Harvard Business School, taught Master's Students at Boston College, and residents in psychiatry at McLean Hospital. I am the group consultant to the staff at the Brookline Community Mental Health Center, and chair the training committee for the Northeastern Society for Psychotherapy (NSGP).
As the former Director of Social Work at the Marino Center for Progressive Health, I maintain an interest in mindfulness and integrative health, and completed mindfulness based stress reduction training. I am a Certified Group Therapist, a Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association and a Certified IFS therapist. I present locally, nationally and internationally and have published book chapters on topics relating to group dynamics, including integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) with interpersonal/psychodynamic group psychotherapy. I am committed providing culturally-responsive services and to social and environmental justice.

"Annie is an alive, aware, and compassionate therapist. She is extraordinarily warm, honest, direct, inquisitive, and sensitive to the needs of clients and colleagues. She also has a thirst for learning -- pursuing answers until she is satisfied that she has found them." Tracy MacNab, PhD
