Welcome! I’m Gary, and I specialize in helping **men, women, and teens (15+)** navigate the challenges that life in 2026 brings. My practice supports individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, people‑pleasing, boundary issues, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to keep everything together while feeling like you’re falling apart inside. I’ve had the honor of working with clients from every walk of life. Today’s world places enormous pressure on all of us—students juggling school and social expectations, adults balancing careers and family demands, and individuals trying to manage financial stress, identity questions, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. Many people delay seeking help because it’s hard to find someone trustworthy, relatable, and skilled. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. As a clinical mental health professional, I strive to create a safe, confidential, and judgment‑free space where you can explore what’s weighing on you. My approach is grounded in evidence‑based practices, empathy, and practical tools you can use in your daily life. While I understand men’s issues deeply, my practice is fully inclusive—women and teens often face their own unique stressors, from academic pressure and social anxiety to burnout, perfectionism, and relationship patterns that feel impossible to break. Maybe you’ve been thinking about counseling for a while but haven’t taken the first step. Many people try to push through on their own, hoping things will get better with time. But sometimes the situation demands support, clarity, and a new way forward. When you’re ready, I’m here. I believe effective therapy is built on rapport, trust, and collaboration. Together, we identify your goals, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop skills and strategies to help you move toward a healthier, more grounded version of yourself. My practice helps individuals strengthen their relationships, build emotional resilience, and break cycles that undermine happiness. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, work pressures, family conflict, or personal growth, we work together to create meaningful, lasting change. I look forward to speaking with you.
