Growth in Mind

Growth in Mind was created because I kept meeting people who were capable, insightful, and motivated to learn and grow - but didn’t want the structure, expectations, or framework of therapy.

They didn’t meet criteria for treatment.
They weren’t looking for a diagnosis.

They were looking for tools.

They wanted space to practice and process.
They wanted to step out of their routines and try something new - with guidance.
They wanted grounded, real-world strategies that actually work.
Ideas they could apply the next day and feel a difference.

After more than 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, I deeply value the power of therapy and continue to offer that work to those who want to go deep.

But I also believe there should be another path available.

A place for practical, time-tested strategies.
A space focused on skill-building rather than treatment.
Tools that help people respond to the challenges of life in real time - with more clarity, steadiness, and intention.

Growth in Mind was built to meet that need.

My background spans private practice, leadership, supervision, community education, and work at the intersection of physical and behavioral health. I’ve supported adults through a wide range of life transitions and pressures. Over decades of clinical and educational work, I’ve seen how powerful the right tools can be when people are ready to use them.

Growth in Mind brings forward the most effective life skills and strategies I’ve seen help people thrive - offered intentionally outside of therapy. It is a space for strengthening what’s already working, enhancing where needed, and building sustainable growth without pathologizing normal human experience.

I believe growth can feel empowering.
Grounding.
Sustainable.

That’s the work here.
