I believe in working together to identify the symptoms that are impacting your life and creating goals to diminish their impact. My experience as a medical licensed clinical social worker prior to becoming a therapist gives me insight into issues adults face as they inevitably get older. Issues I work with include hard health diagnoses, the death of a loved one, hoarding, taking care of a loved one, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Common responses to these life events can include hopelessness, depression, confusion, and anxiety. Triggers from the past can also come up that we can work through together.
