I provide support to college students & adults in the areas of anxiety, grief, life transitions, postpartum anxiety, betrayal trauma, teen trauma, and being the adult child of immigrants.

Being a 1.5-generation immigrant has afforded me firsthand experience/knowledge of the difficulties and challenges that children of immigrants may face. My specialty areas in no way limits my ability to work with a variety of clients.

Hello! My name is Gregg and I help people through some of the tough times in their lives. I believe that we adjust to new experiences using the tools we already possess and a desire to thrive in new surroundings, but sometimes this striving to survive can cause us emotional and behavioral difficulties. I provide supportive guidance through these situations using tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative, and existential therapies, from the psychodynamic approach.

I am candid in that if there is an answer to a question I do not know, I will research and consult with my supervisor to get you the best answer possible.

Life is filled with times of transition and times of change. This couldn't be more true than for the life of an adolescent or young person. Personal identity questions, family issues, the pursuit of healthy friendships, and an overwhelming desire for acceptance are all par for the course. In these moments, walking alongside a young person is critical. After 2020, we have all been carrying a good amount of stress, and the burdens of anxiety & depression weigh heavily.

Currently booking for MARCH. I am honored and privileged to join my clients on their journeys. A successful therapy experience is two-sided: a high level of motivation and commitment on your part, along with my experience, expertise and support. My clients tend to be ready and willing to take deep dives inward to explore themselves. Examining perspectives can lead to deeper understanding and thus allow you to make the shifts you desire in all areas of your life, including your relationships. As life is a series of relationships, the relationship between therapist and client(s) is one that can be a springboard for growth.

My clients come in with varied concerns- cultural-specific relational challenges, parenting challenges, infidelity in marriage, coping with psychological disorders, codependency. They work on building resiliency, to overcome obstacles through application of skills that they learn in their therapeutic process with me. My clients move through their therapeutic journey empowering themselves with the ability to navigate through life challenges. Together we can work on helping you create healthier boundaries in life, gain work-personal life balance, overcome parenting challenges and have a more integrated mental health experience.

The goal of therapy is for each person to reach their highest potential in all areas of their lives. I treat children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing various emotional and psychological symptoms.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary.
