Annette has three decades of experience working with high school students and their families.  Annette served for 15 years as the upper school counselor (grades 9-12) at the Holton-Arms School, located in the Greater Washington, D.C. area.  Before entering counseling, Annette was a class dean and also taught French for many years.  Throughout her lengthy career in education, Annette has fostered a passion and profound empathy for children and young adults and the many challenges that they face.

Now focused entirely on private practice, Annette continues to treat teens, young adults and their families.  She specializes in issues with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, social adjustment, and gender identity.

Because of Annette’s extensive tenure serving in various capacities advocating for young people, she is particularly well versed on the many academic and psychosocial stressors surrounding high school and college students.  In her private practice she has a particular interest in treating adolescents and young adults that face the challenges with divorce of their parents, as well as LGBTQ+, the personal journey of self-acceptance and the acceptance of others.  French is her second language.
