At our centrally located Golden Valley location, we offer compassionate, person centered care for individuals, couples and families. At this and all our locations, we believe you, the client, are in the foreground of our work.

I believe we are born as connected and whole human beings but through experiences in life, we can become disconnected both from our authentic self and others, leading to emotional distress, unhelpful thought patterns and behavioral difficulties. By creating a safe and supportive space, I help clients courageously navigate the blocks in their life and reconnect to their innate wisdom so that they can live a full, meaningful life. With emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, I use a collaborative, client-centered approach and tailor my sessions to support each unique client.

I empower couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles. Areas of special interest include couples and individuals coping with chemical addictions, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationships. I assist my clients to find an understanding of themselves in order to strengthen their connections and their relationships. With deep compassion and no judgment, I welcome all.

My approach with each client is to meet them where they are. We work together on a shared journey of discovery and problem-solving. I believe I can help people manage their lives more effectively. I particularly enjoy working with clients who struggle with who they are or what they want from life. They might feel depressed, anxious or ineffective. Many come from neglectful or abusive families. They may be newly sober or in another recovery program, but need additional help building a life.

I enjoy working with individuals ages 16 and older, from all walks of life. I dedicate my work to helping individuals navigate through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, parenting challenges, grief/loss, eating disorder, body image concerns, identity development (especially with LGBTQ populations), personal growth and development.

Each year new research emerges highlighting the importance of intimate relationships on personal health and wellness. People who have satisfying connections with family, friends, and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer. For these reasons, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve the quality of the relationships they have with themselves and those around them. I provide practical information about intimate, long-term connection (based on current research), and offer specific strategies in response to clients' challenges and problems. My approach is collaborative, experiential, and strengths-based.

Are you looking to harness your inner strengths and find your unique path? As you embark on your personal journey, I am committed to challenging you, inspiring you, and supporting you as you actively engage in your own personal growth. So if you, your family, and/or your children are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or simply need a supportive place to talk, please take a moment to call and schedule an appointment.

If you are noticing increased sadness, loneliness, anxiety, or challenges this may be the time for additional therapeutic support. Mental health is a struggle that we all deal with in our own way, sometimes we need guidance and encouragement. I believe a therapist's role is to support individuals in their efforts to cope and adapt on their own. Through the journey of therapy, I want to be someone who can point out patterns that may be hindering you from reaching your fullest potential.

Are you experiencing anxiety and / or depression? You may be experiencing shyness associated with friends, family, work, and social interactions. You may feel sad more often than not, lonely, and experiencing negative thoughts about yourself. Relationships have been hard to maintain due to feeling disconnected from others, having low energy, and finding that social interactions zap your energy. You're questioning your ability to complete routine tasks and enjoy life. You may be concerned that if you don't do something about these feelings, things can get worse, but they do not have to.

Greg grounds his work in relationship and holds space for clients as they find insight and healing through an exploration of their inner world. He welcomes the messiness that may come with this exploration, serving as a container or guide. No one needs to face that alone. Greg enjoys working with clients who have intersecting identities, and he strives to be anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and non-ableist.

As men, therapy is often perceived as weak, emasculating, soft, or unnecessary. We often feel pressure from family and employers that continues to mount and build over time. We notice our behaviors changing while the latent emotions, pressure, and stress begin to build. Substance use or compulsive behaviors begin to surface without us recognizing it and evolve in to a inescapable cycle.
