Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Ann, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy should be a place where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment. I have experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and behavioral or emotional difficulties.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I work alongside my clients to build on their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're facing a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'm here to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I believe meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we'll develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and identify practical strategies that help you navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence. My goal is to help you feel equipped not only to manage today's concerns, but also to continue growing long after our work together.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make your first session feel comfortable, supportive, and free of judgment. We'll spend time getting to know one another, discussing what has brought you to therapy, exploring your strengths, and identifying the goals that are most important to you. Together, we'll create a plan that fits your unique needs, moving at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.
