Mental Morsels.com

      Welcome, good reader! This page is a portal to a series of articles I write monthly for the Richmond Register. My goal is to make observations of the world from a counselor's point of view. The Register has been most gracious in granting me permission to use the materials I write for them in order to promote my own career. I'm quite grateful, and encourage you to please check out their site sometime.

      Read on, and do send your feedback!
