New to Grow
My approach to working with clients is to meet them where they are, as each individual has unique experiences and needs. I provide a nonjudgmental stance and establish a supportive, collaborative space for us to work together. Client needs and goal areas always dictate our decision making process. I believe in empowering individuals to have strength to make choices and be their own best advocate.
In a first session, I like to review client information, ask questions for clarity, and listen. Together, we then outline some particular areas for future work.
Having been a therapist for a number of years, I have become adaptable to the needs of a variety of clinical presentations. My approach is always supportive, but I am comfortable pushing things forward and being more directional when required.
I enjoy working with a variety of clinical presentations and life issues, particularly with clients ages 18 years and up. Clients who are motivated for therapy and willing to do the work tend to get better results. I enjoy transitional age college clients (18-22 years), single mothers, individuals in recovery, people struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and a host of other presenting issues.
