She has led an Opioid Treatment Center where medication assisted treatment like methadone and suboxone was part of care. That role gave her a lot of real-world experience with addiction, mood struggles, and the ripple effects those issues create in relationships, work, and finances. In sessions she uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused work.

That means she helps people spot unhelpful habits, set small goals, and practice new ways of coping so everyday life becomes easier to handle. She also uses creative tools like art or dream work when useful. She describes her style as meeting people where they are and focusing on harm reduction.

Ann encourages people to notice small gains and build on them. She is an LGBTQ+ ally and brings practical problem solving to issues like codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, and money stress. Outside clinical roles she has continued education in areas such as gambling issues and plans work related to financial therapy.

Her experience aims to blend real-world knowledge with usable strategies for coping and change.
