Meet the Growing Together Team

Growing Together is guided by a dedicated team of staff and board members who believe in building healthier individuals, stronger families, and more connected communities.

​

Together, our team brings experience in counseling, education, wellness, nonprofit leadership, community outreach, advocacy, and lived commitment to breaking cycles of chronic stress and trauma. We are united by a shared belief that healing is both personal and collective, and that meaningful change happens when people are met with understanding, support, and connection.
