Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, intimacy challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and blended family dynamics, anger and self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
