I have been a therapist for over 25 years, working with teens, and adults on issues that cause psychological distress: depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, substance abuse/ living with those who abuse substances and other challenges. We do not have have yo wander around life alone and in pain. By honoring your beliefs and values, we can collaboratively craft solutions to painful problems.
