About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with over 14 years of experience working as therapist in a variety of different setting. I have worked for various Counties in the State of California for over 12 years. I began working as a clinician, promoted to Supervisor for Children’s System of Care and retired as Deputy Director of Behavioral Health and Recovery Services. When I retired from County work I went to work as part of a Forensic Psychiatry Team providing services in jails and prisons. I have always had a small private practice and currently I am completing my PsyD in Clinical Psychology with a projected graduation date is December 31, 2021.

I have cultural experience with generational trauma with the Native American Communities. I have a wide range of training and am trained in: Didactic Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy with adults and children, EMDR. I work with many different types of disorders such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, generational trauma, physical and emotional trauma.

For years I have told my clients both through work and private practice; “Therapy is not for ever it’s to give you tools, my job if I do it well is to give you what you need to accomplish your therapeutic goals and objectives so you can move on through life.” My approach combines the therapeutic tools I have at my disposal and tailor them to meet your specific needs.

“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go: they merely determine where you start (Nido Qubein).”
If your ready for change then let’s begin your new journey towards being empowered and fulfilled.

I look forward to working with you.

Ann is super responsive to messages and truly cares about her clients. After only 2 sessions I knew this was a good choice.

Ann was very helpful. I was in a rough spot and she was very supportive. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

I've only had a few sessions with Ann so far but she's been incredibly helpful. Always available to listen without any judgement and able to make me feel comfortable despite being so nervous before the meetings. She's happy to go with the approach I want to take and checks in regularly to ensure I'm good with how things are progressing.

Ann was wonderfully helpful in my journey to better my relationship and myself through BetterHelp. Ann often spoke with me in a professional way without being intimidating. This is my first time using BetterHelp and it was better than I could have imagined it, with Ann.
