My work centers around LGBTQIA+ adults, healthcare professionals, and those in recovery from addiction and eating disorders. You might be questioning your relationship with substances or food, untangling beliefs that no longer fit, or trying to connect with a version of yourself that feels more honest. My goal is to offer a space where you can show up as you are, without pressure to perform or articulate things perfectly. I specialize in trauma, recovery, and religious deconstruction. I'm honored to work with complex experiences related to identity, responsibility, shame, and change.
I bring both professional training and lived understanding into the room. I know how hard it can be to access self-compassion, especially when it feels distant or undeserved. Together, we’ll work toward a way of relating to yourself that feels more steady, more forgiving, and more real. We’ll go at your pace.
This is a relationship we build over time, and I take that seriously. I’ll show up consistently, honestly, and in your corner as you begin to move from just getting through to actually feeling more like you. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Let's chat!

I have limited space for low-income individuals to utilize insurance. If you are able to self-pay, this curates accessibility for those who cannot. EMDR sessions start at 75 minutes, and I also schedule weekend intensives for trauma processing. Happy to consult on your financial and treatment goals!

Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Grayson is one of the best clinicians I know for chemical dependency and addiction. His grasp of the 12 Steps is deep. He uses EMDR for trauma resiliency, knowing sobriety won't hold unless the trauma is addressed. He works well with queer folks, too
Katelyn Mase

Grayson creates a grounded, accepting space to process challenges of navigating the new "normal". He is thoughtful and intentional and genuinely cares about everyone who crosses his path. This is apparent in his therapeutic approach. I recommend him highly

Grayson brings curiosity and compassion that go beyond technique; it's just who he is. Thoughtful, genuine, and never performative. Grayson wants to help people & does! If you want a therapist who will meet you openly wherever you are, he's your person.
