New to Grow
I’m Theo, a licensed therapist focused on creating a safe, trusting space where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. I specialize in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Family Therapy, helping you manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach prioritizes safety, collaboration, and clarity, so you feel understood while making tangible progress. I guide you in building coping strategies, strengthening resilience, and navigating life transitions, all within a space designed for security and trust. Sessions are structured yet flexible, ensuring each visit contributes to measurable growth and positive outcomes.
During our first session, you will be welcomed into a supportive, judgment-free space. We will discuss your goals, concerns, and what brought you to therapy. I will explain my approach and how we can tailor it to your needs. Together, we will identify key patterns, strengths, and areas for focus, and begin creating a practical plan for your therapy journey. You will leave with a clear understanding of next steps and a sense of safety and support.
I excel at creating a safe and trusting environment where clients feel fully seen and heard.

I guide clients in building resilience, managing difficult emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. My greatest strength is my ability to meet clients where they are while fostering growth, clarity, and confidence.
