- Anxiety & stress
- Depression
- Trauma
- Grief
- Relationship issues
- Existential concerns
- Difficulty with self-expression
- Feelings of guilt & shame
- Self criticism & self-esteem issues
- Anger issues
-Life transitions
-Many more: just ask!

Prior to my current independent practice, I worked as a therapist in a group practice, provided psychotherapy to adults in a community mental health center, and also have professional experience working as a counselor in a semi-residential psychiatric program for adults.
