I work with clients in several areas; anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD and adjustment disorder, to name a few. Initially we'll explore client concerns and collaborate on next steps and future plans for care. Most clients describe feelings of gradual relief and uplifting thoughts for the future within the first month of treatment, with consistent improvement going forward.
