Hi, my name is Gregorio but people call me Greg. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas where I offer online counseling. I work with people who are in relationships that make them feel overwhelmed with painful emotions. I help people understand themselves and their partners so that they can be able to connect to them or with each other. Together we will work towards gaining a different perspective, with new tools to help you connect with your partner. My belief is that all behaviors serve a purpose and all behaviors have an origin. This insight about ourselves and others helps us understand our relationships.

Fear, loneliness, feelings of inadequacy, and self-blame can make relationships very difficult. But you still need to love and to be loved, to experience intimacy, and to find ways to repair damage to relationships in order to live a life that feels hopeful and happy. You need to find welcome and safety with others. You need to know you matter. You want to explore the world and to have the energy to pursue dreams and address challenges. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy, I aim to be a witness to your pain, and to explore these hurting places with you so that you can find your way with energy, strength, and hope.
