We can work together to help you gain an understanding of the challenges in your life while making meaningful change and creating a purpose-filled life based on what’s important to you. I’m Greg, and I have over 40 years of experience in the Mental Health and Addictions Field.
Life changes faster than we can keep up with sometimes and having the ability to slow things down and catch your breath is becoming harder and harder. If you are struggling with the stressors of life, aging, physical pain, health challenges, Addiction, Problem Gambling, loss and grief or just having a hard time coping it helps to have someone to sort these things out and figure out what to do next. I am here to help you manage these, gain understanding and make meaningful change.
