It can reward you with improved relationships with your loved ones and a better understanding of yourself. It can relieve you of the pain from a difficult past. It can help you better manage a challenging environment or life transition. You are not alone. Help is here. I’m a compassionate and warm clinical psychologist who specializes in college aged adults and early to mid-career professionals of diverse backgrounds with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship, and depression.
