Valerie K. Lambert, LCSW, CT	Last Updated: 04/15/2012

I have worked for many years with clients who have cancer or other chronic illness, or their families. I feel that these life transitions can be overwhelming, and it is very fulfilling to be able to help someone druing these challenging times, or during grieving. I also focus on helping people with depression or anxiety.
