Where Psychology Meets Whole-Person Wellbeing
The Grow True Approach
My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with a holistic perspective on wellbeing. Work toward more than symptom relief—toward a life that feels fulfilling and reflective of what matters most to you.
Therapy as a Collaborative Relationship
I strive to create a space where people can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported, while thoughtfully challenging the patterns that may no longer be serving them. Therapy is not something that happens to us—it is a collaborative process ideally built on trust, curiosity, and a shared commitment to goals.
Where Psychology and Lifestyle Medicine Meet
Therapy is about more than understanding your thoughts and emotions—it’s also about understanding the everyday factors that shape how you feel and act. Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, and relationships can all influence our mental health, just as our mental health can influence each of these areas.
My approach combines evidence-based psychology with Lifestyle Medicine, recognizing that our mental health is influenced by our daily habits and how we care for ourselves each day.
In therapy, we may explore these connections with openness and without judgement. We can aim to identify actionable changes that may support your overall wellbeing while honoring your goals, values, and unique life circumstances.

HOW I WORK
Evidence-Based Therapy
My work is grounded in evidence-based psychological approaches that are thoughtfully tailored to each client's needs and goals. We may draw upon:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Learn to identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking, emotions, and behavior.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Implement strategies that can support vitality, emotional openness, self-kindness, value-driven action, and connection.
Mindfulness-Based ApproachesPractice cultivating awareness, presence, acceptance, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Positive PsychologyHarness your strengths and positive emotions; Work toward achieving your goals and living a life connected to purpose and meaning.
Beyond Coping Toward Thriving
While therapy often begins with a specific challenge or struggle, many people discover something deeper throughout the process—greater self-understanding and compassion, insight and personal wisdom, and the confidence to embody the qualities that can support a fulfilling life and relationships. We can choose positive change with each passing moment.
