Gregg says, “For change to occur in one’s life, one must seek a deeper understanding of self in relation to the greater opportunity to be of service.

From this change in life experience, Gregg emphasizes the healing impact of renewed meaning, resolution and a connection with a greater sense of hope. Gregg specializes in chemical dependency and anger management to include the resolution of interpersonal conflict, anxiety and stress. Gregg lives each day in the reality of God and is devoted to the facilitation of spiritual transition.
Gregg is a Washington State Registered Counselor and a Mental Health Counselor Intern. He is also certified in Chemical Dependency Counseling.
