"I enjoy working with individuals experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety that result from life responsibilities, such as the overworked and overwhelmed mother. I also enjoy helping younger millennials and Gen Zers that are anxious or depressed due to internal conflicts surrounding adulthood, unrealistic or unfulfilled expectations, social media comparisons, and money instability."
