About me

I am a warm and caring but direct Therapist who believes in human potential. I am licensed in California and previously worked for County Behavioral Health with children, teens and adults. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Applied Behavior Analysis. My current areas of focus are in helping clients with past trauma and abuse; including ways they can improve their self-esteem, anxiety, and self-efficacy. I also enjoy helping couples improve their communication skills. I believe there is a strong body/mind connection and I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling, balanced and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Anne is truly a warm and caring therapist. She’s knowledgeable, experienced, and asks all the right questions to help me figure out what truly ails me. I appreciate her very much.

Anne is the kind of therapist you hope you’ll find but don’t think actually exists. She listens without judgment, gives feedback that’s both compassionate and direct, and has a way of making me feel understood even when I can’t find the words myself. She challenges me when I need it and always brings fresh perspective that makes me look at my situation differently. She's exactly what I needed. Thank you, Anne!

Anne and I had a great connection right from the start! BetterHelp did an outstanding job matching me with Anne.
She has been and continues to be an amazing source of really getting me. She listens and her insights are always spot on. She has been an invaluable part of my really getting a clear picture of how and when to set strong boundaries.
She is, in my opinion, an outstanding therapist. I consider myself to be very lucky to have been matched with Anne.

Anne is the most caring therapist I’ve ever had. She listens attentively and offers support. She teaches me tools and skills to utilize when I’m feeling anxious or triggered. She does a fantastic job and I never want to have a different therapist! Absolutely love her
