People typically come to see me because they are either in crisis or because they desire to have a greater understanding of themselves. During a crisis, you may suffer from depressed mood, hopelessness, anxiety/panic, and irritability.

We may examine the things that brought you to this place in your life: your family and personal history, current stressors, cultural and societal factors.
