Greetings! I want to introduce myself and share my background. I am a licensed therapist with 45 years of experience serving individuals in the mental health field. I have years of training in the areas of anxiety and depression, along with relationship difficulties. I have trained many other therapists over the years. I have experience working with more severe mental illnesses, but I do not have experience or training in the areas of transgender or LGBTQ issues.
