About Grant Sorensen

I am committed to the belief that we all have an innate capacity for success; and perhaps even more valuable- to thrive! That potential is unleashed when the strengths that already exist are understood and cultivated to establish deep roots that support resilience and sustainable growth.   

Personal experiences combined with my natural inclination to connect with, and support others led me to an education in Psychology. My focus is on the conditions that create positive psychological states, guided by the belief that we all are capable of thriving.
