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 ...

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...
