how she works
Many of Annam's clients are navigating the intricacies of identity and family dynamics. They may be facing relationship challenges, such as concerns about dating or friendships, or dealing with stress or burnout from work, school, or perfectionism. Some carry the weight of depression, anxiety, or trauma. Often, they are deep thinkers and feelers who quietly manage their struggles. By tailoring her therapeutic techniques to each client’s unique needs, Annam ensures they feel seen and understood without having to over-explain or justify their feelings.
By combining a holistic and eclectic mix of approaches—such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic techniques—Annam supports clients in untangling persistent patterns and reconnecting with parts of themselves that may have gone overlooked. Alongside this deeper work, she will collaborate with clients to create practical coping strategies, helping them feel empowered to face any challenges with greater ease and resilience.
