In Person Therapists in Exeter, CA

Anxiety/Depression: is it interfering with a sense of purpose, success, hope for your future, relationships, and your job? Grief/unexpected losses of a loved one, friend or pet: holding you back from moving forward? Unresolved traumatic memories triggered when least expected, affecting relationships? Are children angry, acting out as they carry old and new worries? My 30+yr previous career in nursing also provides understanding to chronic illnesses, or sheds light on needed medical referrals. I also offer Immigration Psychological Evaluations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in a wide range of mental health and psychotherapy settings. As a therapist and as a person I know that no one is immune from experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and trauma.
