Background and history
“For the first decades of my life, I lived in a knee-jerk reaction to one fear after another.
Only in the last few years have I finally begun to live without fear. I have spent my life searching for this place.
Now, living in peace and happiness, I want to share how to get rid of fear with anyone open to the transformation.” — Dr. Anne
A unique life and career journey
Dr. Anne grew up in a military family. During her childhood, her family lived in many places.
Since 1974, she has lived and worked in North Dallas, Texas.
Dr. Anne began her career as a special education teacher.
After a break to care for her newborn daughter, she moved to the corporate world. She discovered a knack for inventory management and production planning, especially the computer planning systems.
After a few years in management, she moved to a consulting role. She taught people to use the business planning systems they were implementing.
“After years of working in corporate production and inventory positions, I began consulting with companies implementing ERP systems. I loved consulting, but I did not like being on the road all the time. I realized I needed a big change.” Dr. Anne
A new world of possibilities
Then, precipitated by divorce, she had to come to terms with her own depression and anxiety issues.
Her personal therapy experiences opened a whole new world of possibilities.
Remarriage enabled her to return to school and study professional counseling. She received a master’s degree and a doctoral degree from the University of North Texas. In 1994 Dr. Anne opened her private practice in North Dallas.
“It took a lot of personal counseling, self-examination, and reflection, but I finally decided to pursue a PhD in counseling from UNT. Since 1994, I have been in private practice in far North Dallas, Addison, and Plano areas. I love my work. I have a thriving private practice seeing individuals, couples and providing group counseling.” — Dr. Anne
Always driven by curiosity
Always driven by curiosity, Dr. Anne’s exploration didn't stop at graduation. She studied many different treatment methods over the years, including:
- Hypnosis
- Past life regression
- Energy medicine
- Chinese medicine
- Ayurveda
- Thought Field Therapy
- Yoga philosophy and psychology

- Guided imagery
All of Dr. Anne’s experience and study brings you a rapid, lasting, and affordable antidote to your anxiety and stress.
“Starting over is a stressful common experience today, whether it is the result of a deliberate career change, lay-off, divorce, or death. We all must become flexible and adaptable. My new career has helped me learn to enjoy the process of continually 're-inventing' myself in my job, as I add new and exciting modalities and develop new methods/courses for my clients.” — Dr. Anne
