About Annabelle

A therapist who understands what it means to not quite fit.

I'm Annabelle — a French American therapist who came to the United States in my early twenties, navigating a new culture, a second language, and the particular kind of displacement that comes with being between worlds. That experience of not quite belonging — of having a layered identity that doesn't map neatly onto expectations — is something I carry into my work.

I'm also neurodivergent myself (ADD and highly sensitive), which means I don't just know about these experiences from a textbook. I know what it's like to have a brain that works differently, to mask, to burn out, and to spend years wondering why the "normal" strategies never quite seemed to stick.

That's what brought me to trauma therapy and neurodivergent-affirming care. Not because it seemed like an interesting specialty, but because I've lived in some of the terrain my clients bring to session — and I believe deeply that people deserve support that actually fits how their minds and bodies work.

I practice in Lakewood, Colorado and offer telehealth across Colorado and Louisiana. I work with adults 18+ and offer all of my services in English and French.

What I believe

The values that guide my practice.

These aren't just things I say — they're the commitments that shape how every session is held.

You are not the problem.

Your responses — to trauma, to an overwhelming world, to a nervous system built for survival — make sense. Therapy here starts from understanding, not correction.

Pace matters as much as depth.

Going slow isn't a detour — it is the work. Healing that lasts requires a system that feels safe enough to change. I won't push faster than your window of tolerance allows.

Your whole identity belongs here.

Your neurodivergence, your cultural background, your gender, your body, your internal world — all of it is welcome. I offer affirming, culturally humble care.

Complexity is the starting point.
