Anne received her Master's degree from John F. Kennedy University and has been an instructor with GGS for 20 years. Prior to her clinical work, Anne had an extensive career in Expressive Arts and Theater. She co-authored and performed in the award winning theater piece "Leftovers...the Ups and Downs of a Compulsive Eater". This is an improvisationally developed show about women and body image. Anne's DVD of the show, used in concert with the accompanying "Leftovers" workbook and experiential workshops have helped many who suffer from Binge Eating Disorder.

Anne's early clinical experience included working with adolescent psychiatric in-patient programs and adult dual-diagnosis day treatment. For the last 20 years, she has had a private practice in Berkeley, working with individuals utilizing depth psychotherapy and transformational couples' work. With individuals she specializes in Binge Eating, issues with aging, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and has experience with a variety of other issues. In her work with couples she emphasizes identifying and repairing problematic relationship dynamics. This will lead to communication and growth. She also specializes in conscious divorce/uncoupling.

Anne has over 40 years of teaching experience and truly enjoys the balance of teaching and practicing depth psychotherapy. She teaches exam preparation for the California Clinical exam and a number of Continuing Education classes. She brings humor, curiosity, and a wealth of experience to all of her classes. Over the years she has found that she is able to help students identify their particular challenges with the test taking process. She has developed a number of anxiety management techniques that students can utilize before and during the testing process. Anne's intention is to make a challenging process positive and interesting.
