I work with clients who may be struggling with depression/anxiety or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter
