I help adults navigate relationship challenges with family, friends, partners, or co-workers.

Through curiosity and care, we build practical skills—like setting boundaries—and create a plan to bring clarity, confidence, and connection.

Alex noticed her partner always agreed with her — never saying what he really wanted. When she asked why, he said, “I just don’t want to fight.”

She reassured him that honesty felt safer than silence. Little by little, he started opening up.

Healthy love welcomes truth, even when it’s hard.
If communication feels difficult, Ann can help you reconnect — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115.

When Sam’s partner kept texting during work hours and getting upset when he didn’t reply, he felt constantly on edge.

So he set a boundary: no texting during work unless it’s urgent. It wasn’t about distance — it was about respect.

Healthy boundaries build trust, not walls.
Ann can help you find your trust — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115 to start your healing journey.

When Taylor realized every weekend was spent doing what her partner wanted, she started to feel like her own needs didn’t matter.

So she spoke up — gently, but firmly — and asked to alternate plans. Date night started feeling fun again, not forced.

Healthy love makes room for both people’s joy. 💛

When Maya’s friend often vented but never asked how she was doing, she started to feel invisible.

So she said, “I care about what’s going on with you — but I need space to share too.”
That one conversation shifted everything.

Healthy friendships honor both voices.

If finding your voice feels hard, Ann can help — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115 to make your first appointment.

After years of shared memories, Sandy noticed the friendship felt draining instead of supportive. Conversations turned critical, and they were left feeling small.

So Sandy chose distance — not out of anger, but out of care for their peace.
Sometimes, the healthiest boundary is letting go.

If change in friendships feels painful, Ann can help you navigate it — either in-person or remotely — wherever you are, healing can start here.

When Taylor’s friend asked for another big favor, she hesitated. She wanted to help, but she was already stretched thin.

So she said, “I can’t this time — I need a night to recharge.”

Her friend respected it, and Taylor felt lighter. Saying “no” doesn’t make you a bad friend — it makes you an honest one.

If saying no feels hard, Ann can help you practice healthy boundaries — Whether you meet with Ann in person or via telehealth sessions, support is just a call away.

When Lila’s friend started showing up unannounced, it felt overwhelming. She didn’t want to seem cold, but her home was her safe space.

She practiced saying, “I love hanging out, but I need a heads-up before visits.” Her friend understood — and their connection felt easier after that.

Boundaries protect connection; they don’t weaken it.

If setting boundaries feels hard, Ann can help you find your balance — She offers sessions in person and online — wherever you feel most comfortable.

When Jess realized she was always the one reaching out, she started feeling invisible. She loved her friend, but the effort felt one-sided.

So, she took a step back and stopped initiating every conversation. To her surprise, her friend noticed — and started showing up more.

Healthy boundaries help us find balance in connection. They remind us that friendships grow stronger when both people make space for each other.

At first, setting boundaries felt awkward for the whole family. Fewer texts. Shorter visits. More honesty.

But over time, it brought peace.
Sunday calls became joyful instead of stressful. Conversations stayed light, laughter came easier, and nobody left feeling drained.

Healthy boundaries don’t disconnect — they define where connection can thrive.

When everyone has space to breathe, relationships can finally grow in trust, not tension. You deserve relationships that feel safe and calm — book with Ann today by calling 503-269-7115.

When Ben’s adult son said he didn’t want unannounced visits anymore, he felt stung. He almost said, “But I’m your dad!” — until he stopped himself.

Instead, he replied, “I didn’t realize that made you uncomfortable. Thank you for telling me.”

Later, his son invited him over — and their time together felt lighter, more intentional.

How we respond to boundaries says as much about our love as how we set them. Listening with grace builds deeper connection than guilt ever could.

Ann can help you explore how to communicate with love, even when it’s hard to hear “no.” Call 503-269-7115 to set up your first appointment.

When her sister started leaving family group chats on weekends, Lila felt hurt. It seemed personal — like her sister didn’t want to be part of things anymore.

Then, she asked about it. Her sister shared that weekends were her only time to rest without constant notifications. Suddenly, it made sense. Lila realized it wasn’t rejection — it was self-care.

Understanding someone’s boundary means pausing before taking it personally. Boundaries aren’t about exclusion — they’re about energy, balance, and well-being.

Learn to see boundaries as connection, not rejection — to book your session with Ann, call 503-269-7115!

When James noticed that family dinners always turned into arguments about his career, he started to dread them. One day, he took a deep breath and said, “I really want to enjoy our time together, but I’d rather not talk about my job during dinner.”

He wasn’t rude — he was clear.
Setting a boundary is often uncomfortable, but clarity is kindness. It helps everyone know where the safe zones are.

It’s okay if your voice shakes when you speak up. Setting a boundary is an act of self-respect, not defiance.

Let Ann help you find your words and your confidence in setting healthy boundaries. Call 503-269-7115 to set up your first appointment!
