Throughout my professional career, I spent 10 successful years working in the banking industry and another 10 years in pharmaceutical sales, exceeding in various sales and managerial positions. However, I was constantly drawn to psychology and eager to study the relationship between conscious and unconscious phenomena and the role of feelings and thoughts. Therefore, I was keen to make a career change to becoming a psychotherapist. To pursue my goal, I enrolled in a master's degree program in psychology, which required a significant time commitment. I often spent long hours in the evenings and on weekends reading textbooks, writing papers, and preparing for exams. Balancing my studies with my full-time job was challenging, but I was determined to succeed.

Hi, I'm Lane. I know that looking for a therapist-- finding the right "fit" and someone you can trust--can be a daunting process. Let me tell you a little about my practice, and if you have any questions, please reach out and ask me. Over my 15 years in various forms of clinical practice, I have accumulated a number of techniques for helping folks feel more whole in their daily experience. In terms of first principles, I believe that it's my job to get to know and to honor your truth and endemic wisdom. I'm here to be a compassionate partner in your self-exploration. Honesty, transparency, and trust in our relationship is paramount. I am always interested in hearing your thoughts and feelings about our working relationship. Most times, talking about what's happening in the moment, in our interactions, is therapeutic, and leads to new skills that can be deployed in everyday life. Therapy is a place to learn about and practice being authentic, noticing along the way the places you might have had to curtail your truths to cope in previous situations. Please be aware of a few policies in navigating the Grow Therapy platform: - Please note I only see individuals and groups. I don't currently offer couples therapy. - I am ethically obligated to assess your needs before initiating therapy and telehealth. I ask that you complete the intake form at least 12 hours before our appointment, so I can arrive prepared to meet you in depth. - Therapy services are not officially begun until after we complete a live intake session and you sign my personal informed consent documents, which I will send to you after the live intake appointment is complete. - Please note that I do not monitor the Grow Therapy messenger regularly, and it is not a good way to communicate with me about any urgent or time-sensitive issues. Please use email or call my phone number. - I enjoy seeing teens and young adults for therapy, but I do not see children younger than 13. Legal, court-mandated, and custody issues are not within my scope of practice.
