🌸 Well, this is me! Or at least it was me before perimenopause added a permanent sheen of exhaustion and a generous helping of brain fog. 😂

I’m Annie — a mom, therapist, author, and someone who has never been very good at focusing on just one thing!

I’ve spent over 20 years helping people as a therapist, but I’ve also always loved writing and creating. And the way I create things is a little bananas.

Usually, an idea pops into my head about something that might help someone, and I just can’t let it go until I’ve made it. Of course, that idea leads to three more, and before I know it, I’ve started another project!

Here’s the funny part. Between being a busy mom and running my therapy practice, I don’t exactly have hours of free time to sit at a desk and write.

So I write everything on my phone, in the Notes app, while my daughter sleeps on me. Every book, every story, every self-help program, every little creation. All written that way!

Somehow, that’s turned into children’s books, journals, and now my first adult fiction book, The Order of the Second Bloom, which is especially close to my heart as I navigate my own adventures in perimenopause.

My Etsy shop is another collection of those ideas, filled with things I’ve learned through years of therapy work — resources for fellow therapists, tools I use in sessions, self-help programs, and little pick-me-ups.

I hope somewhere among these creations you’ll find a little warmth, connection, encouragement, or maybe even some answers.

I’m glad you’re here. And I’m always happy to help. 💕

Annie
