Wholeness Is Possible — and You Don’t Have to Get There Alone
I’m Grant — a therapist, guide, and fellow traveler. For the past 15+ years, I’ve had the privilege of walking with men and women who long for more than quick fixes. They want real healing. Lasting change. And a deeper relationship with themselves, their people, and God.
This page is about who I am, why I do this work, and how I can walk alongside you.
My Story
I didn’t always know I’d become a therapist. But I knew I wanted to help people heal more deeply.
I grew up in the Midwest with a lot of passion, energy, and a heart for people. As a teenager, I was invited on a service trip to Mexico — an adventure through my Enneagram Seven lens — but it turned out to be a holy disruption. In the middle of a windstorm, I knelt beside a grandmother and a toddler playing in the dirt. As we made eye contact, I suddenly saw Jesus in the child’s eyes. Something shifted. That moment broke me open. I knew I wanted to spend my life serving others.
That encounter set the trajectory. I studied psychology and religious studies, served in communities around the world, and eventually moved to San Francisco for graduate school. I became a husband and father young, and life hit hard — health crises, spiritual isolation, and the unraveling of old strategies that had carried me until then. I had insight, intentions, even faith… but not the tools for true inner healing.
Then came the Wild at Heart bootcamp — a weekend that cracked something open in me. I was sitting in a session, tearing up, when I glanced left and saw a strong-looking guy next to me also in tears. Something in me softened. That weekend, I realized something I’d never fully seen before: the psychological and the spiritual don’t have to compete — they belong together. The message was clear: your heart matters, your story matters, and healing isn’t separate from faith. It was awe-inducing to discover that deep love for Jesus and deep inner work could share the same space.
“For the first time, I realized that loving Jesus and doing deep inner work didn’t have to live in separate worlds — they could belong to the same path.”
We shared a meal that night, and later I met another friend while standing in line for ice cream. That weekend I discovered something I didn’t know I needed: good men who wanted to go deep, love Jesus, and fight for their hearts.
That experience planted the seed for something I now believe with my whole being: healing happens best in community. I’ve seen it over and over again — in men and women, in couples, in group work, and in my own life.
Later, through my own work with a therapist, I was introduced to Internal Family Systems — and everything changed again. In just a few sessions, I was able to access parts of my story and internal world that I’d never reached through insight alone. I remember thinking, “How am I going this deep, this fast — and with this much clarity?” It helped me see that the journey of healing isn’t just about naming our pain — it’s about reconnecting with the parts of us that have been carrying that pain for too long. IFS gave me a framework for healing that honored both my mind and my soul — not in theory, but in practice.
"I didn’t need more insight — I needed a way to heal. Parts work gave me language and access to places I didn’t know how to reach.”
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve seen that therapy doesn’t have to be a secular side road to faith — it can be a Spirit-led journey of integration. One where Isaiah 61 becomes real: “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted” — literally, the leb-shabar in Hebrew — a shattered heart made whole again. And not just spiritually, but emotionally, relationally, and internally.
Now, I get to walk with others through that same journey. I help people move from awareness to actual healing. From fragmentation to integration. From self-protection to self-leadership. From trying to be “good enough” to living rooted in God’s love and their truest identity.
And while I’ve been doing this work since 2008 and have been licensed since 2012, I still feel like the luckiest man in the world every time someone trusts me with their story.
This work has changed my life — and I believe it can change yours too.
Because when we experience deep healing and integration, it doesn’t just make life feel better — it brings us into deeper union with God. And from that place, we’re able to love Him more fully, love ourselves with kindness, and show up with clarity and strength for our families and the people around us.
How My Story Shapes the Way I Work
I’ve lived the disorientation of doing “all the right things” and still feeling stuck. I know what it’s like to love Jesus and still carry unhealed places inside. That’s why I build spaces where you don’t have to pretend — and you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
My work is structured to help you move forward with clarity — not just talk about what’s hard, but actually do something with it. We go deep, but we also build. We make space for grief and hope, questions and presence.
Whether I’m working one-on-one or guiding a group, my role is part guide, part emotional architect: I help you make sense of what’s going on inside, untangle what’s no longer serving you, and reconnect with the parts of you that still carry wisdom, strength, and joy.
More than anything, I believe in what’s possible for you. Not because I think you need to be “fixed,” but because I’ve seen what happens when someone has the right tools, the right process, and the right kind of support.
You were made for wholeness — and I’d be honored to walk with you.
Credentials & Experience
I’ve been doing this work since 2008 and became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2012. I hold an MS in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from the University of San Francisco, and a BS in Psychology and Religious Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I’m currently licensed in California, Colorado, and Florida — and offer coaching services to clients in other states.
My approach is grounded in both psychological depth and spiritual formation. I’ve completed Level 1 and two Level 2 trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS), with special focus in trauma and relational healing (Intimacy from the Inside Out, Trauma & Neuroscience). IFS has become the primary framework I use for guiding lasting integration — especially when combined with the faith-based vision I’ve drawn from years of mentorship under John Eldredge and the Wild at Heart team.
Outside of formal practice, I’ve had the honor of walking with men through soul care intensives, retreats, and spiritual formation work. I co-lead Christian men’s retreats in the Colorado mountains, serve with WildSons, regularly participate in men’s process groups, and have appeared as a guest on seven episodes of the Become Good Soil podcast. I’ve also led teams on international service trips and served as a church elder and youth ministry leader.
Licensing Note: I’m licensed to provide therapy in Colorado, California, and Florida. If you live outside these states, I offer sessions under my life coaching credential — still grounded, still relational, still deep — just outside of clinical therapy regulations.
A Personal Note
I’m a son of the King, a husband and father, and someone who still loves ice cream, CrossFit, trail runs, armed hiking (aka “hunting”), and watching people come alive. There’s nothing quite like that moment when someone realizes they don’t have to carry it all alone — and starts to believe healing is really possible.
