Licensed Clinical Social Worker
My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on you. As a collaborative partner, my goal is to help you gain insight and understanding into old messages and patterns of behavior that likely helped you survive at one point in your life. However, these may no longer serve you and your current relationships. I'm here to support the positive changes you have decided to pursue to move closer to a peaceful, healthy and sustainable life.

A Community Approach to Recovery
If you feel overwhelmed and find you or your loved one coping by using unhealthy strategies such as excessive food, alcohol, drugs or screen time, there is hope. It makes sense that we try to numb out from our daily life stressors, traumatic experiences and current events. However, recovery is possible and healthy change is attainable.
Research shows that when a community or family actively joins and supports the recovery process, the rate of recovery success dramatically improves. Recovery is a journey. My goal is to offer a safe and supportive space while providing your community with context and tools to promote long-lasting change.
“Ann walks beside me on my recovery journey. She is present and listens in a wholehearted way. She provides wisdom and guidance for me on my path. I am so grateful!” - LH, client
