Dr. SG is originally from Detroit, MI. He received his AB degree from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) in 1989. After three years living in Seattle, where he acquired a love for coffee (and met his wife), he moved to Philadelphia and earned his PhD from Temple University in 1997. While in Philly, he learned to cheer for the Phillies and Eagles. He completed his internship at the UCSD/VAMC consortium in San Diego, CA where he indulged his love of burritos. After a post-doc working with John Weisz at UCLA, he joined the faculty at VCU in 2001. His research focuses on dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments, measurement of treatment integrity, emotion regulation in children and adolescents, and pediatric psychology.
