Hello I am Gregory, Have you found yourself struggling with your day to day and personal relationships. I believe in empowering clients to take control of their life. In the therapeutic relationship I believe my job is to give you the skills to get where you would like to go. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 7 years experience. My specialties are in anxiety, depression and substance use disorders. Seeking therapy can feel daunting. I am here to help and will always allow you to drive your treatment. everyone has the ability to grow. during our sessions together I will provide you with a safe space nonjudgmental place to hone your coping skills to tackle life's challenges.
During our first session you can expect to have a directed path for out time together. First sessions are a great opportunity to get to know each other, establish goals, and build a plan for how I can best help you. You should leave that session with a plan.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy as I believe that the treatment should be molded to the needs of the client. I do draw heavily on solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Dialectical behavior therapy.
I have a great deal of experience working with anxiety and depression. I have several years in the public sector working with clients struggling with substance use disorders. at the end of the day I pride myself on being personable and approachable.
I prefer to work with ages 15 and up. I will work with younger clients given there is a strong support system willing to participate in services.
