"The personality of the therapist is the most important human element in the therapeutic process."
—Thomas Tyndall

My approach combines both art and science.  The science of counseling and coaching is contained in theories with names like cognitive-behavioral, systems, psychodynamic ... The art is combining these theories with personal experience and applying them in a mixture that helps each unique client.

People describe Ann as:

• "easy to connect with"
• "great sense of humor"
• "courageous"
• "resourceful"
• "patient"
• "energetic"
• "flexible"
• "creative"
• "positive"
• "considerate"
• "logical"
• "pragmatic"
• "skill building"

“I feel as if the “weight” has been lifted off of my shoulders, I feel younger and actually do have a lot more energy. I honestly could not have gotten to this point if I hadn’t worked with Ann to get here. Working with Ann was great and I highly recommend her to you.”
