Hi, I'm Grant. Are you struggling with a difficult life decision or relationship? Do you have a problem that seems to linger despite frequent discussions with friends and loved ones? While the idea of counseling may be scary, my calm, practical, and down-to-earth approach will allow us to tackle your most difficult issues. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds, though I am able to provide a unique perspective that is particularly helpful for young men facing the challenges of life adjustment. Every person and situation is different; there is no one-size-fits-all. I strive to meet you where you are, and I will move at the pace which feels most comfortable for you. Whether it is depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or a myriad of other mental health issues, I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices to help you live your best life. Through our work together, you will get closer to becoming an expert on yourself, your relationships, and your world.
During our first session, I will try to learn as much about you, your relationships, and your current situation. We will identify what the problems are and what life would look like without these problems. We will also identify goals that you would like to achieve during our work together. As our sessions progress, I will continue expanding my understanding of you and your situation while employing evidence-based methods to help you meet your goals. While some people prefer to continue counseling for regular personal maintenance, we may discuss what it will look like once your goals are met and when our work together is complete.
I utilize person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and existential approaches to assist my clients in better understanding themselves, their relationships, and their world. All treatment approaches are tailored to fit you as an individual; there are no "cookie-cutter" or "one-size-fits-all" fixes.
During sessions, I bring a calming, grounding, and down-to-earth approach. This sets the stage for discussion of the most personal, intimate, and difficult topics should they need to be addressed for your healing. Working in Mental Health Emergency Services, I have considerable skill and experience working with serious mental illness and the set of challenges that come along with it.
