About Ann
She works with people facing trauma, intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and parenting strain. Ann also supports those navigating LGBT matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or communication problems. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then shaping a plan that fits each person's needs.
Ann blends client-centered conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and try small, realistic steps that can change how people feel and act. She keeps language simple and goals clear so progress is easy to track.
Over nearly three decades in California practice, Ann has helped people manage sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, career shifts, and midlife transitions. She also works with people facing multicultural stress, compassion fatigue, and the complexities of non-monogamous relationships and kink-aware topics.
Her style is warm and direct. She invites clients to name what matters most, then helps them build coping skills and practical plans. To begin, confirm session options and scheduling when you choose to start work together.
