New to Grow
I am a Clinical Psychologist who loves to help people learn new ways of managing problems with mood and stress. You are the expert on who you are and what you're going through, and I want you to share that expertise. My goal is to listen to gain an understanding of what could be helpful, and to offer tools that have been shown to help address the problems you are facing.
The first session involves my asking a lot of questions to get a good idea of what you're struggling with and ways I can help. I want to hear about what you hope will be different in your life when our work together is done. We will collaborate on treatment goals based on this discussion and proceed in our work.
I am a compassionate clinician who uses evidence-based treatments to help individuals manage mental health related issues.
I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to make changes to the thoughts and behaviors that maintain their distress. This involves not only coming to scheduled sessions but also completing the take home practice assigned to help implement the tools that will help improve mood. I also encourage people to continue using the skills they've found helpful even after treatment.
