    How can I, or is there a plugin that will allow me create a page to show all of my categories?

    Not talking about a sidebar plugin but, an actual dedicated page for nothing but, categories...

    Oh this is for Wordpress

    you need to create a template file. If you have archieves.php in your theme then see whether it lists the category archieves, page archieves, etc.

    Ok here is how you can do it.

    Create a Custom Page (tutorial)

    If you want it to look like your other pages which I suppose you do, simply copy and paste your page.php code in the new file. All you need the tutorial above is to get the template structure.

    In the page content somewhere you will need to add this code:

    <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
    PHP:
    The above code will display categories.
