My experience has been positive

Talking to Ann felt really good and I am super happy she is my therapist, as a man it’s hard to talk about personal things but I feel that it’s easy to do with Ann without getting judgement

She is a wonderful listener. Never made me feel rushed to figure out what I wanted and needed to say. She was understanding and helped me to work through how I was feeling and get to the root of the emotions.

Wonderfull
Written on Sep 08, 2024 after therapy with Ann for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
Ann is understanding and compassionate but extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all I have expressed and asked for guidance about. She is able to help me sort through my things in a way that I’m able to see for myself. This is imperative for recognizing and changing my own thoughts and behaviors as well as understanding and handling all my close people. Highly recommend Ann.

Ann is fabulous, both as a therapist and as an educator. Listens to concerns and provides practical solutions.
