I am a clinical psychologist who works with adults and couples experiencing a variety of life difficulties. Depression, anxiety, marital difficulties are a few of the many areas in which I work. With couples, it can be a a "bump" in the road that needs addressing, or it can be handling separation/divorce especially with children involved. . Another area of interest is providing support for current or former cancer patients and their loved ones. This can be at the point of diagnosis, during active treatment, or post treatment as well.
