Thom D.
Founder and CEO
“My partner and I found Ann’s practice online. After our initial intake, she decided she wanted to take us on as clients instead of referring us elsewhere. We valued her dedication to helping us. We’ve been in therapy for a few months and our communication has grown tremendously. We’re looking forward to continuing our couples’ journey with Ann’s support.

Ann is clear in her communications, and generous with her knowledge.”
James K.
