Hi, I'm Ann! I have over 10 years of clinical experience and enjoy working with teens and adults in helping them build skills to regulate their emotions, and face the challenges they're navigating in their lives. I specialize in helping people through trauma, women's issues, PTSD, stress and relationship issues.
I'm trained to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to assist individuals in reaching their goals. I have specialized training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) through Behavioral Tech, using Marsha Linehan curriculum. I am also well versed in Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
Our first session will include questions about your background, mental health history and family history. I want to discuss what brought you to therapy and give you a feel for how are following sessions will look! I realize this can be intimidating for for those who have never sought mental health treatment. I try to make the process as "painless" as possible with simple, direct questions. I also mix in some humor from time to time...because I hope by the end of it you'll feel more like we're just having a conversation instead of an assessment. Book with me through my calendar to schedule a session! I offer telehealth and in person.
