Treatment Approaches                                                                                   
Ann’s passion is to work with individuals who desire to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and child and adolescent behavioral problems. She works to empower her clients with tools and mindsets that promote healthy lifestyle habits. She works with both adults and children.
 
Ann holds the belief that every client deserves to sit in a seat of honor. This seat of honor is a safe place they will actively be listened to and be met with empathy. In sessions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients recognize maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. When these behaviors are recognized, they can directly be targeted for treatment and the initiation of healing can begin. When requested, Ann is more than happy to integrate Christian counseling into her approaches. 

She values securing a nonjudgemental and empathetic environment for her clients while comfortably encouraging them to make comfortable positive changes. Ann values helping clients achieve their goals in therapy. 
 
Education and Training
Ann received her Bachelor’s degree in business, psychology, and project management from the University of North Texas with a Cum Laude standing. She received  Master’s in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling with distinction in August of 2022 from CACREP accredited Liberty University. She is also a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). She has training and experience counseling individuals from DBT, CBT, and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) theoretical backgrounds. She is also a certified SYMBIS Facilitator and can offer premarital counseling to couples. 
 
Background and Experience
Ann is married and the proud mother of two. She lives in Anna, TX where her family is actively involved in their local church. In her free time, Ann thoroughly enjoys exercising, cooking, baking, reading, and spending time with her loved ones.

She has enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults throughout her practicum. She treats individuals 10+ and can take initial intakes with children as young as 7 to determine if treatment would be a good fit. She has worked with women struggling with relationships, boundaries, and anxiety. Ann also has experience counseling women postpartum. She has experience working with adolescent males struggling with behavioral issues, ADHD, emotions, and self-esteem. Additionally she has worked with adolescent females navigating issues with anxiety, depression, self-esteem ADHD, and phobias. Ann has also seen several college students navigating the uncertainties faced in that season of life. 

As a South Asian herself, Ann enjoys working with a South Asian population as well. She loves help others of similar ethnic backgrounds navigate the difference between healthy and unhealthy mindsets pertaining to culture and worldview. 
 
Personal Statement
Life is full of seasons. Some good and some bad. I do not take lightly the privilege it is to walk alongside those who trust me with their difficulty. One of my favorite scriptures is found in Jeremiah 29:11. It reads, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and future.” I have seen firsthand how the Lord uses difficulty and trying circumstances in life to ultimately prosper us for His glory. I am honored to help people find hope, purpose, and peace in the midst of challenging seasons. 

Call Ann to schedule an appointment or discuss counseling concerns. Sessions begin at $70 per session and can be lowered based on sliding scale.
