I started meeting with Sunday a little less than a year ago. We worked very well together to address my challenges with anxiety and phobias. Sunday's ability to get me to see my successes in life and his solution oriented approach helped me get over my three phobias. If you asked me a year ago if I thought I would be getting on an airplane in the next year, I would have said no. Not only did I fly for the first time in 22 years, but I have another flight scheduled. Sunday is GREAT!
