Do you feel as if you’re expected to know what to do with your life but don't know how to figure it all out?

Everyone has experienced trauma in their lives. Trauma causes us to over-adapt in our present lives. We may ‘overreact’ or shut down or just feel lost and stuck.

We can meet it as we are or we can meet it with a skill set that allows us to overcome our past. It is my goal to be a breath of fresh air to those whom I work with.

Freedom is a heavy burden. The task of authoring our lives is a serious one, which cannot be meaningfully handed over to anyone else. In keeping with this belief, I work hard to respect the autonomy of the people I see in therapy. Rather than attempt to hand you solutions to problems in your life, I seek to understand with you as fully as possible the past and present factors that affect how you think, feel, and act. Understanding can be transformative. As we shine light on aspects of ourselves ...

How many times have you heard, “These are the best years of your life”? And who says this? [Hint: adults who went to college many years ago.] But if you ask a college student, there’s a good chance they will talk more about anxiety or depression than enjoying the best years of their life. According to the American College Health Association’s 2018 study, 63 percent of college students said they had “felt overwhelming anxiety” and more than 41 percent said they had felt so depressed that it wa...
