“I work with people who have anxiety, depression, and trauma. A few areas of focus for me are relationships, shame, anger, life changes, and identity, though this is by no means a comprehensive list. Therapy is change, and for most of us, true and meaningful change is a hard road to walk. My role is to help you walk it, even when it's hard.”
