She treats adults facing challenges across the lifespan, from young adults struggling to gain independence and navigate their newfound adulthood to older adults experiencing lifestyle transitions, retirement, health changes, and loss of loved ones. She has experience treating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, social anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, caregiver strain, grief and loss, and compassion fatigue.
