Ann is amazing! She has helped me so much, I couldn’t even express into words. She is so kind and understanding I feel so much better after we have our sessions I am extremely thankful for all she does.

Ann listens with so much intent. Sometimes that’s all you really need, a person who actually listens and understands where you are coming from. I appreciate her very much and am thankful I found her.

Ann is amazing! 10/10 would recommend. She is highly intuitive, kind, caring, asks all the right questions and just overall is an excellent therapist. I have had quite a few therapists and after meeting her one time virtually I could feel the connection and everything falling into place. Massively thankful to have found such a wise woman to connect with.

Ann is a wonderful therapist. This was my first venture with therapy and I was very nervous but Ann made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I was able to speak with her openly and we were able to discuss deep matters that opened the doors to things I had never connected before.
She has made me feel seen and empowered. I so appreciate how she validated my feelings. It meant everything to me and lifted a huge weight off my chest.
I highly recommend her. She has helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. ❤️
