More about Evelyn
- 7 years' experience

- LCSW
I am trained and certified in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, career challenges, and relationship concerns. Bringing a sense of peace, joy, or hope to someone who needs it is deeply fulfilling for me. I listen, clarify, and collaborate so clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Helping others has always been my passion, and I find it rewarding to support individuals in discovering meaning and purpose in their lives.
