I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I am experienced in working with families, couples, adults, and adolescents. Some specific areas of focus I am familiar with are adolescent issues, anxiety, depression, grief, medical/health concerns (as both a patient and caregiver), and relationship concerns.
