I have worked with Greg for quite a while now, and I always look forward to talking with him. He is very supportive no matter how I'm feeling, and he is a beacon of light in my darkest hours.

Talking to Greg the past six months has lifted such a weight from me— I honestly didn’t know where to begin with this heaviness in my heart and mind, but Greg has always remained patient, empathetic, and validating.

Regarding my struggles with alcohol, complicated grief surrounding my father’s death, trauma, anxiety, and depression, Greg would listen and really help me sit with those feelings in a truly reflective, yet objective space.

He offered better ways to cope, and ways to hold myself accountable. I never felt judged, or that there was a bar set too high by either him or myself. I can’t recommend him enough, and I’m so very grateful for his help and support.

Greg is an amazing person to work with. He helped me through a tough loss, and I appreciate how he adjusted his methods to really be impactful to how I perceive and interpret things. I really am grateful I had Greg through my loss, and I look forward to continuing therapy with him.
