I am a client centered therapist/psychologist with 13+ years of experience working with couples and individuals age 18 and older. My schedule is generally Monday through Thursday from 9-5 PT and Friday from 9-3 PT. You can expect me to be empathic and understanding of your concerns, without judgment. I won't be telling you how to live your life or giving you advice you haven't asked for. If you want advice, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best. I work with you to help you gain insight into what is bothering you. Together we can help find new ways of understanding yourself (self-empathy) and discover/change how you are looking at the world around you. We can work to relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety. My goal is to eventually have you be able to better handle feelings and emotions and live a happier more fulfilled life without me being there to help. What are your goals? What would you like to work on with me?
I will look for you to give me informaiton about your upbringing and education and career/job details as we move into what moved you to start therapy and where you hope to go and what goals you might have for our therapy sessions.

It was clear from the beginning of our session that Brian is empathetic and professional. I immediately felt at ease with his tone and clear explanation of the process. The background of his space while on camera is also professionally set up, warm and inviting. I was ready to leave Growth Therapy after my session with my first provider but am glad I tried Brian first.

Brian listened to my issue and concerned, but my issue was not in his wheel house for additional support. Advice was to find a therapist that is aligned with what I am dealing with. Therapist was nice and knowledgeable.

I appreciate that he’s direct and doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear. He challenges me in a way that helps push me toward my goals. At the same time, he’s warm, caring, and understanding-which makes me feel supported, even when the conversations are tough.
