New to Grow
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California, with 11 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
During the initial session, we will discuss your presenting problem and how it is currently impacting you. We will discuss previous experiences that may impact your current issues and will identify if we feel that therapy is a good fit.
My clinical experience has awarded me with the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals including women, couples and veterans with whom I have been able to form exceptional therapeutic relationships in an effort to identify their strengths as a means of attaining their personal goals.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I enjoy working from a strength based model of therapy where we identify your existing skills and resilience that has been useful in the past that can continue to help with current stressors.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked. During treatment, I focus on presenting problems, practical skills that can be used to help address these issues and identifying measurable goals to focus on throughout treatment.
