New to Grow
I am a PhD level school psychologist and a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in several different capacities in both California and New Jersey. I have worked in both public and private schools, as well as in private practice . I have also taught undergraduate courses at Monmouth University. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Boston University and my PhD in School Psychology from Fordham University.
Our first session will be reflective listening, on my part , in order to better understand the client and their issues. I am happy to answer questions about myself as well.
I am calm, reflective and non-judgmental. I will offer a safe space as I actively listen in order to build trust around the therapeutic relationship. I am flexible, client-centered and will provide understanding while challenge my clients to help them grow.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions to help to improve social emotional regulation. I aim to help clients develop coping strategies for issues around career, relationships, anxiety, depression and issues around eating.
