I initially received my license in 2003, and have had a great deal of experience with solution focused therapy. This type of therapy is excellent for dealing with anxiety, grief, life transitions as well as illness. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals in a life coaching capacity. I most enjoy helping people remove barriers in their life so they can achieve more happiness, peace and purpose for themselves. I like to employ a down-to-earth realistic approach to issues, my own life experience is part of what I bring to therapy. This includes working as an executive in healthcare for many years, helping people and their families cope with serious injury and illness, as well as being a parent, working through a divorce and and incorporating a blended family, plus more :)

Thanks to Better Help and Ann Perkins, my fears are minimal and manageable. Ann's guidance and 'homework' help keep me focused and moving forward. I'm so glad I joined and was matched to Ann in March 2021!

Ann is a wonderful therapist! I have been working with her for two months and she has given me great advice on how to work through a family crisis. She is compassionate and yet very focused on the problems. I highly recommend Ann Perkins.

Ann is amazing! I am a gay man, and initially struggled with finding a therapist who understood LGBTQ+ related issues, but she did such an amazing job relating to me and understanding what it’s like to be a young queer person. Her advice was very personalized and specific to my background. Loved working with her, definitely recommend!
