Hello — I’m Ann. I’m glad you’re here.

People often come to therapy when something feels off — a relationship feels strained, a life transition feels disorienting, or an inner voice feels louder than it should. You may appear capable and composed on the outside while feeling conflicted or overwhelmed on the inside.

I work with thoughtful, reflective adults and couples who want to feel more connected — to themselves and to the people they love. My clients are often compassionate, high-functioning individuals who have long shown up for others and are now seeking greater alignment, clarity, and emotional depth in their own lives. This includes young adults navigating identity and transition, women redefining themselves within family and partnership, men seeking deeper connection and balance, and couples longing for more authentic communication.

My approach is integrative, relational, and grounded in both depth and physiology. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 1), and draw from somatic psychotherapy, psychodynamic theory, and cognitive-behavioral frameworks. I help clients understand the parts of themselves that strive, protect, please, withdraw, or criticize — not as flaws, but as intelligent adaptations shaped by earlier experiences. This work is grounded in nervous system awareness, supporting increased regulation, clarity, and choice.

In our work together, I also collaborate with you to develop practical ways to cultivate groundedness and autonomy, and to find language that allows you to express your internal experience and needs with clarity and aligned integrity — both within yourself and in your relationships.

I have completed two years of CORE Energetics training, a somatic and characterological approach that understands psychological patterns as embodied. This perspective allows me to attune not only to your story, but to breath, posture, and the subtle language of the body

I hold therapy as both sacred and practical — a space where you are deeply respected, gently challenged, and supported in meaningful growth. I honor diverse identities and lived experiences and approach this work with steadiness, discretion, and care.

My path to this work has included careers in accounting and education, years devoted to motherhood, and my own transformative experience in therapy. In addition, I spent two decades leading women’s groups as a forum moderator within a chapter of Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), facilitating honest, confidential conversations on leadership, relationships, and personal growth. These experiences inform my belief in the human capacity to heal, evolve, and live with greater authenticity.

I currently practice via telehealth throughout New York State under clinical supervision with Aaron Lauber, LMHC,  as I complete post-graduate licensure hours.

Beginning therapy is an act of courage. Sustaining it is an act of devotion to your own life.
