It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of patients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, burnout, sexual abuse, depression and anxiety, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and respectful. I provide support and encouragement as you examine core issues and change entrenched patterns of behavior or simply gain clarity concerning a recent issue.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will get to know one another. We will get a feel for what working together will be like. I will answer all of your questions. I will gather some history and we will establish expectations for therapy. We will outline some of the steps we can take to help you feel better and how therapy can help you feel more alive, more centered, and more focused.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients tell me they feel heard and understood in session. They also report they appreciate the feedback we discuss. Clients sometimes return to session a week later and begin with a comment about our previous session and how it had been helpful for them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with people who come to therapy wanting to discover aspects of themselves which have previously been unknown to them. In psychology, we call these "blind spots" or "growth edges" and we all have them. Pieces of ourselves that lay just beneath the surface that sometimes need a nudge to become conscious to us. These are the "gems" we mine in therapy to help you gain insight and clarity.

We covered a lot of information very quickly, and Griff was able to help me name my unhealthy patterns and visualize a path for growth in our very first session. I appreciate his direct approach. It's very efficient and effective for my learning style, and I'm really excited about the personal growth I can see in front of me.
