Great to meet you!

When life feels like one long cycle of stress, anxiety, burnout, or big change, it can be hard to slow down enough to catch your breath, let alone feel clear about what you want next. In our work together, we’ll make space for you to feel truly heard while also getting practical about what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll look at the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and turn that insight into step-by-step tools you can actually use in your daily life.

Outside of my clinical work, I am an author, speaker, trainer, and course creator. My upcoming book, Renew Your Mind: What Your Past Taught Your Brain and How God Can Change It, along with the companion online course, Renew Your Mind: 7 Sessions with Dr. G, will be released on August 9, 2026. Start with the course here: https://growthacademy.podia.com/renew-your-mind-7-sessions-with-dr-g

My approach to therapy

My style is structured, collaborative, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We’ll set clear goals, check in on your progress, and practice specific skills to help you manage worry, regulate emotions, and respond more intentionally instead of feeling overwhelmed or on autopilot. You don’t have to come in with all the answers—just a willingness to explore what’s going on and try new approaches.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’d like to feel different, and what’s been getting in the way. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of direction and a few concrete next steps. If you’re ready to move from just “getting by” to feeling more grounded and in control, I’d be honored to support you—reach out to schedule a session and we can get started.
