More about Ann

18 years' experience
Female
LPCC

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. My work focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as issues related to isolation, life purpose, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with older adults, young adults, and caregivers, addressing concerns such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, social anxiety, grief, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I also support clients dealing with workplace stress, chronic pain, military and veteran experiences, and various mood and personality concerns.

My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique values and beliefs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater peace and purpose in your life.

I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring what matters most to you. If you're considering therapy, I'm honored to support you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
