- Psychologist
I am a Catholic Licensed Psychologist who has been providing counseling services for over 25 years . My work history includes 20 years with District Court, Family Services, with a focus on divorce and custody issues; family mediation, and conflict resolution. I have also worked many years in a private practice clinic, where I saw couples and individuals, addressing a wide variety of mental health issues, and offering a variety of therapy and support services.
If you are seeking a Catholic or Christian Counselor, I am happy to include a faith based dimension in our therapy work together. For others who have no such interest, I am respectful o f all spirituality styles and we will work together accordingly. Whatever your issues or concerns, it would be my pleasure to offer you help and healing in a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship.

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.

Ann has met me where I am at, offering ideas to consider, and helping me process the situation in a kind and helpful manner. I am more hopeful with my current circumstance because of her guidance.
Ann is so supportive. She doesn’t ever judge and her confidence and knowledge in the Word of God helps me out a lot. She is a amazing therapist that I am grateful for!
I learned a lot from Ann and she helped me through some difficult things. I will use the tools she reached me always. One thing I wish Better Help would offer is the option to purchase single sessions.
Ann’s clarity and discernment helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. Although I’m not Catholic, I also greatly appreciate when our sessions bring in the spiritual rather than just the psychological.
I really like her gentle firmness personality.
She's very helpful!
One of my favorite things about therapy with Ann is that she has so many ways of being supportive. While she’s always friendly and appropriately enthusiastic, when I’ve needed it, and with my consent, she has also been very direct with me. When I was going through a particularly difficult life transition, she offered me a very necessary reality check. She also has said many things that I’ve been able to recall for support in my life after the session.
Ann is a great listener and offered great perspective for the issues I was struggling with. I would highly recommend working with her! Thank you so much, Ann!
My first visit with Ann was a great experience. She listened and offered suggestions and tasks for me to work on before we meet again. Highly appreciated. I can’t wait for my next session. Ann is Awesome!

Ann is amazing with talking through the issues and troubles I have had. She is very caring, respectful, and gives great advice on how to reduce my anxiety and thoughts. I highly recommend her for going through any relationship issues, single or for couples!
Ann is the absolute best. She’s extremely caring and has helped lift me when I was at my lowest. I’m so lucky our paths crossed.
Ann is amazing and incredibly down to earth. I really appreciate her insight and ability to work with me on a personal level that felt natural and safe. I would highly recommend Anne if you're looking for someone to help.
