I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, divorce and co-parenting, career challenges, ADHD and DSM-V diagnosed mental illnesses.

I had my first session with Trudi, after going through 4 other therapist. I feel so great and happy after chatting wth Trudi, she's genuine, empathetic, has a warm approach like she mentions. I'm looking forward to talking with Trudi more! Very thankful.
