A word from Dr. Walker:

“Achieving balance is not only a professional goal for me, it is a personal one as well. My husband Sergeant First Class David Walker has been deployed twice with the military, my oldest child struggles with addiction and bipolar disorder, and in 2006 I completed my sixth reconstructive procedure following a double mastectomy. I have a wonderful family and we are passionate advocates for marriages, military families, and parents with struggling teens. We know our experiences have placed us in a unique position to help other families dealing with similar issues, and we feel achievebalance.org and Ann’s Place are a reflection of that passion. Choosing a therapist is an important decision and I am honored to help you achieve balance today.”
