Sometimes, as adults, we discover that our ability to make decisions; to love someone; to accept the love of another; to feel peace and inner calm; to find the motivation to accomplish goals; to forgive a betrayal; and to experience self-acceptance and confidence can feel limited, creating distress and discomfort. Thus begins the journey of an examined life. When you explore how you operate, what influences your choices, and what has contributed to your experiences, you begin the process of enriching your internal resources. This expansion of resources broadens your choices and options in life and holds the potential for higher functioning and greater happiness. As a therapist, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment. I am easy to talk to, interactive, respectfully direct, and mindful of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and utilize each individual’s strengths and resources, supporting the discovery of an authentic self that experiences life in a richer and more satisfying way.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I help moms who feel tired, worried, or overwhelmed. Many moms love their kids very much but feel stressed, guilty, or like they’ve forgotten about themselves. They want to feel calm, happy, and more like who they used to be. I’ve been helping people for many years, and therapy with me is a safe place to slow down and take a deep breath. We work on simple tools to help you feel less worried, handle big feelings, set healthy limits, and take better care of yourself. If you want more calm and confidence, you are not alone. We will work together to help you feel stronger, supported, and more at peace as you find your rhythm again.

Are you tired of the non-stop chatter in your head judging every move you make? Is the constant loop of negative thinking making you feel like you are not good enough? No matter how many times you try to talk yourself out of this—you just can't seem to shake it. You are doing all the things you’ve been told to do and yet something is missing. You feel alone. You feel misunderstood. You feel anxious. You turn to food, alcohol, Netflix, or whatever else that can make these feelings go away. You promise yourself that next week will be different. You will start the new diet or the new program, you will commit to being a new you. What if there is another way? I work with women to get this cycle can end. There can be freedom from the despair caused by believing that you are not good enough. You want a deeper connection in your relationships. You want more joy in your life. You want less stress and worry. I can help you get there. There is a different path.

Hello! I’m excited to be a part of the team at Grow Therapy. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University in 2016. My background includes working in college/university psychological service centers, an outpatient psychiatric center, and an outpatient treatment program specializing in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). More recently, I’ve completed EMDRIA approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training. Prior to my doctoral training at Cal Lu, I worked at a non-profit community counseling center in Santa Barbara, CA. The way your course of therapy unfolds will depend on a number of things, including your goals for therapy, your strengths, and your history. In our sessions, I will be focusing on understanding your needs and goals, and getting to know you as a whole person. By exploring your current life and personal history, we develop an understanding of why you think, feel and behave as you do. Therapy is a place to focus on yourself, which is a rare opportunity in our extraordinarily busy lives. Therapy can help you solve a specific problem, provide symptom relief, gain more general self-acceptance, as well as create personal change. I work collaboratively with individuals struggling with issues including: Anxiety and Panic, Depression, Emotion Dysregulation, Trauma, Insecurity and Fearfulness, Problems with Alcohol and Drug-Use, Grief and Loss, Self-Acceptance, Stress, Sexuality, Relationship Difficulties, and Peak Performance. I utilize evidence-based techniques including CBT and DBT, and have found through experience that these methods combine well with psychodynamic/insight oriented therapies. My knowledge, experience, and care are dedicated to helping clients meet their goals and live a more fulfilled life.

Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, anxiety, or the impact of childhood trauma, therapy can help you better understand yourself and create lasting change.

Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences show up in your present relationships and build healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others. My style is warm, supportive, and direct.

My primary tool for helping clients with trauma is ImTT or Image Transformation Therapy. ImTT works using imagery and the breath to release triggers that are related to past trauma. Releasing triggers allows you to make choices based on what's happening now not what you body has decided is a threat because of the past. Mindfulness and somatic practices as well as self-care tools are valuable to support the work. They help clients heal and reset their nervous system from the inside out. This helps you choose to be present in the world. It does so in a safe and gentle way. The ability to calm an activated nervous system is one of the most valuable tools you can use for good mental health. If this speaks to you reach out and schedule a time to meet.

If you've been carrying the weight of your work, struggling with trauma, navigating performance anxiety, or feeling the strain in your relationships, I'm here to help. I also work with family members of the individuals mentioned above. I meet you where you are. I understand that therapy might feel uncomfortable or even risky in your world. My approach isn't about changing who you are; it's about giving you tools that actually work within the realities of your life. Whether you're working rotating shifts, managing a packed competition schedule, juggling court dates, or dealing with the unpredictability of emergency services, I'll work around your schedule and respect what your day-to-day looks like. I bring some relevant background to our work together. As a former collegiate athlete, I've experienced performance pressure myself. My Master's in Homeland Security and experience in security and emergency management have given me insight into organizational cultures and operational realities. While I don't claim to know exactly what you've been through, I've worked extensively with people in your field, and I will learn about your specific experience from you. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatments (Prolonged Exposure, CPT, and EMDR) that have strong track records for resolving PTSD, and I integrate performance psychology and resilience skills so you can move forward stronger. I also work with couples and families, because the demands of your career affect the people you care about most.

As an American Family Therapist, I work from a systemic perspective, focusing on the entire family unit rather than just the individual. My goal is to help families uncover and understand deep-rooted patterns and issues that interfere with healthy communication and connection. Through this process, I support each member in developing more effective ways of relating, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional safety with the family system. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and view my work through that lens. This means focusing on mindfulness, expanding tolerance for discomfort, increasing effectiveness in relationships and strengthening emotional regulation. When challenges arise in therapy, I often find that the root of the issue can be addressed through one of these core areas. For clients struggling with post-traumatic stress injuries-particularly common in military populations-I also incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them reframe and work through trauma-related beliefs. My approach is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to the needs of each individual or family.

My name is Christopher, and I believe life can be better than what we have adapted to and gotten used to. Over the years I first began working with the indigent population and there I learned about the connections between substance abuse, mental illness and trauma. I then worked more with addiction when I worked with people struggling to stop substance abuse and once again, I recognized a connection between these behaviors and trauma. Finally, before completing the last stages of earning hours for my license I worked with children and families and noticed the way personal trauma experienced by adults effected parenting and family relationships. Helping people address anxiety and depression symptoms independent of a trauma made improved my abilities who help people that deal with those symptoms along with other trauma indicators.

I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress Reduction, Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management and Crisis Counseling. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. As a Doctor of Psychology and psychotherapist for 45+ years, I've dealt with my own grief and loss by writing the nonfiction book, "Doggie Wisdom for Humans: Advice from Dogs for Humans of All Ages," and an autobiographical fiction series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo."

It is not easy to open up and share our struggle, only when we feel safe and contained we can take that scary step, and eventually find the relief we are looking for. I am passionate about supporting adults in their journeys to mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Hi, I’m Jenna! I am a licensed Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist in Colorado, Florida, and California. Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people as they work through stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and depression. I believe in meeting every person with respect, compassion, and genuine care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore what you’re going through and tailor the process to your unique needs. One of my specialty approaches is Clinical Hypnotherapy (Aka: Hypnosis), and currently I am the only provider on Grow licensed in Colorado who offers this service. Reaching out for help takes courage, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. I’m also happy to provide a superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. While I can’t guarantee coverage, many clients have been reimbursed for a significant portion of the cost (sometimes up to 80%).

I currently only have space for in person client on Tuesday at my office located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset, I'm am full for telehealth. My approach to therapy is to help each client or couple adapt and grow from life's circumstances. I help my clients thrive within their community and experience a grounded and vital sense of connectedness to self and all others. I am a firm believer that there are not bad parts / people, only bad roles, patterns and wounds. There is always hope for growth, healing and reclaiming vitality and connection. I utilize a holistic approach that embraces one's intersections and addresses mental, emotional, and somatic (bodily) experiences.

Coming from a strong anatomical and physiological background, I decided to focus on therapeutic solutions. I started working with California state prisoners and then moved to foster care. I have worked with substance abuse and other community programs assisting individuals in finding their way financially, emotionally, and soberly. I enjoy using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which I prefer doing in person but can also do it telehealth.

Hi! My name is Kayla, an LPCC in CA. My work is focused on working with individuals navigating generational and cultural traumas, church hurt, and challenges associated with perfectionism. I identify as a Christian therapist and can bring a faith-based approach when appropriate, but my practice is open to anyone, and is rooted in a deep commitment to helping you overcome challenges like anxiety, trauma, relational, and familial conflict with warmth and understanding. My niche is working with adults in transitional stages of life, from ages 18-35, as a support and sounding board for the unique challenges that come in this stage. I come with a very gentle, client-centered approach, which means that one of my main focuses is to create a warm, supportive and encouraging space for you to discuss the things you want to discuss in the therapy room. My goal is to make sure you feel heard and supported - from there, we can work together to identify areas for growth and change! Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to provide compassionate guidance and gentle support. Let’s collaborate to build a path toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. I look forward to meeting you and partnering with you!

My experience has taught me from this central humanistic standpoint, the relevant and helpful interventions are at arm's reach. I believe in educating my clients and partnering with them through their unique experience with therapy. I enjoy living in the Joshua Tree area and exploring the beautiful desert. My new and healthier lifestyle is keeping me busy with exercise and cooking. The combination of the two has made my new life a true second chance!

Hi! I’m Olivia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I hold a BA in Human Biology from Stanford, with a focus on child development, and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. I'm passionate about how early life experiences shape our sense of self and inner narratives, and I bring this perspective into my therapeutic work. With a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic style, I help individuals struggling with disordered eating/eating disorders, perfectionism, rigidity, and control to live a life of freedom and joy that’s aligned with their personal values. I also help individuals who have experienced different forms of trauma find safety in relationship and work through the barriers that may be keeping them from accessing the life they want.
