Ann has been so supportive of my journey this year… from being out of body and in my mind to being able to apply strategies to coping. I am grateful for her help in my self work journey.

Ann is the best listener and asks the right questions that has helped me understand myself and issues so much better.

I've had the opportunity to work with a few therapists over the last five years, and Ann is hands-down the best therapist I’ve ever had. She creates a safe, supportive space where I feel truly heard and understood.

Her insights and guidance have helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Ann is wonderful, she is compassionate, empathetic and a great listener. She checks in if she hasn’t heard from you, I really appreciate this. I’m so thankful for Ann.

Ann is amazing! She has helped me so much, I couldn’t even express into words. She is so kind and understanding I feel so much better after we have our sessions I am extremely thankful for all she does.

Ann is amazing! 10/10 would recommend. She is highly intuitive, kind, caring, asks all the right questions and just overall is an excellent therapist. I have had quite a few therapists and after meeting her one time virtually I could feel the connection and everything falling into place. Massively thankful to have found such a wise woman to connect with.
