Grant enjoys supporting couples, individuals, and families in meeting their goals. He is most passionate about working with adults experiencing anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, relationship issues, or those who are interested in improving any aspect of their life in general. 

Grant believes that one of the most important factors in successful counseling is to build a positive and meaningful therapeutic relationship between counselor and client. He will spend time getting to know you, your perspective, and your unique strengths & weaknesses by offering a non-judgmental environment to allow clients the opportunity for reflection and self-exploration. Grant believes clients are the experts of their own lives and helps to encourage positive self-actualization, client autonomy, and decision making by helping clients better identify emotions and/or thought patterns that may be effecting their overall well-being. 

Grant’s preferred models for therapy include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.      

Grant is a member of the American Counseling Association. In his free time, he enjoys playing tennis, working out, playing guitar, being outside, and spending time with his wife and dog Lola.
