Hi, I’m Greg. I specialize in supporting people through major life transitions—specifically, divorce and relationship breakups. Whether you are contemplating a breakup or divorce, are currently in the process of ending things, or have already been through it and are picking up the pieces, I am here to help. People may tell you to just “move on.” You and I both know that it just isn’t that simple.

Most of my clients identify as LGBTQ and I have a special interest in working with this population, but I welcome anyone to my practice who wants to disentangle longstanding problems, understand themselves more deeply, and feel more alive. While symptoms of depression, anxiety, or distraction signal that something is wrong, most of the issues people bring to therapy are complex and woven into the fabric of their lives, family histories, relationships, and communities. For this reason I work within a psychodynamic framework, which is most effective in facilitating deep, lasting change compared to other forms of therapy.

Considering therapy? Taking those first steps can often be difficult, but finding the right therapist can help you work through the concerns that have continually affected you and your relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults and families. I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of life circumstances and issues; however, I have specialty training working with school-aged children, college students and families. My approach to working with clients is to first provide them an environment where their life circumstances can be understood so they can feel safe to explore new possibilities. My priority as a therapist is that my clients feel empowered to live their best life within their own unique set of cultural factors while taking into account their personal goals.

I utilize a supportive and warm approach that is integrative of mindfulness and dialectical-behavioral principles. I work from the perspective that the client-therapist relationship is paramount to progress, and believe that it is the stepping stone to growth and change. Clients set their own pace and can process each step of their journey. I believe in gentle challenging to move through patterns that are not serving anymore and provide practical skill-use in and out of the office.

For over 30 years, I have accompanied others on their journey towards greater self-awareness, more fulfilling relationships, and exploring the needs and challenges of maintaining sound emotional, physical and spiritual health.

My clinical work draws upon skills developed while working as a hospital chaplain, pastoral counselor, bereavement counselor, youth counselor and a mental health therapist in a social service agency.
