Let’s work together.

You don’t have to do it alone.

I’m Grayson. Read on to learn more.

I am a therapist with immediate availability. I’ve have been helping Californians work through their past and create meaningful futures for the past 5 years, and teach Couples Workshops that help couples increase their friendship, manage conflict and create a shared meaning that lasts a lifetime.

In my downtime, I can be found at the beach with a coffee and my loved ones. If you’re interested in speaking with me about therapy, intensives or my next workshop please send me a brief message or schedule a video call on the “Book Now” button below.

I help those in addiction recovery and couples in dull, difficult, and conflicted relationships. It’s grueling for anyone considering divorce because they have lost their passion for their partner, are internally conflicted, or feeling weighed down in their relationship. You might be worried about how your kids will take the news, if you can financially recover, or even second-guessing if divorce is the right move. I have completed the Level 3 Practicum Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and I use the Gottman’s relationship research to help couples develop friendship, manage conflict, and create meaning in their relationship. For more information about an upcoming couples workshop, click on the flyer below.

I help individuals make meaning of their emotions and know what’s holding them back from breaking through their problems. If you are in recovery (sex, love, alcohol, substance) or trying to get to recovery, I know the difficulty that staying clean and sober brings on relationships, work, and mental/emotional stress. I help people find and maintain their recovery by making meaning of deep and intense emotions to sustain recovery efforts.

I am a Christian and have trained at a seminary, but I do not impose my spiritual or theological views on anyone. I like working with people who want to integrate their faith with their counseling to bring their faith and feelings together.

I have a blog with posts to help with depression, suicide, effective journaling, shame, and anxiety. Read more about my professional experience here.
