A calm place
to think clearly
about your life.
A reflective practice for women navigating transition, identity shifts, and the quiet process of becoming more fully themselves.
You don't need to translate yourself here.
Many women arrive here carrying identities that once helped them survive or succeed. The capable one. The reasonable one. The caretaker. Often these identities were adaptive — necessary, even. But over time, they can become so practiced that a woman loses contact with her own interior life beneath them.
Awake is a space for that contact to return. Not as crisis. Not as performance. As a slow, honest conversation with someone trained to meet complexity without flinching.
Psychological depth, not surface-level advice.
The work draws on narrative therapy, depth psychology, and decades of listening carefully to the lives of accomplished women. Sessions are unhurried, private, and grounded in respect for your intelligence.
We work toward clarity and coherence — not reinvention. The goal is not a different woman. The goal is contact with the one already here.
The quiet questions that don't resolve on their own.
Identity beneath the roles
Recovering a sense of self after years inside the capable, reasonable, caretaking version of you.
Relational uncertainty
Honest reflection on partnership, unresolved betrayal, or quiet disconnection.
Caregiver depletion
Naming the cost of over-functioning and finding sustainable shape again.
Transition and reinvention
The unfinished interior work of empty nesting, career shifts, divorce, or grief.
Loneliness inside success
The gap between what you've achieved and how alive you feel.
Becoming coherent
Living more consciously, more honestly, more like yourself.
Founder, AWAKE
A former healthcare executive, writer, and graduate of the University of Virginia and Pepperdine University’s master’s program in psychology, Anne brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the ways people grow, adapt, and redefine themselves across the lifespan. Drawing on psychology, lived experience, and thoughtful inquiry, her work explores how our external lives and our inner lives can come into greater alignment.
Through her writing, speaking, and educational work, Anne invites people to approach change not as something to survive, but as an opportunity to live with greater clarity, authenticity, and intention.
How we work together.

"You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning. Sometimes the first shift is simply having a place where you no longer have to translate yourself."
