Hi there, I'm Gary A.!

We all experience difficult times that can impede our desire to live a functional and meaningful life. Therapy allows you to gain a different perspective on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use a client-centered and collaborative approach to address functional deficits and provide coping skills for a satisfying and healthy life.

My focus

I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma related to relationships, life transitions, and self-esteem. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I'll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help you explore and identify unwanted thought patterns that lead to negative emotions and behaviors. Once identified, we will work on strategies to help you reframe these thoughts and move forward with confidence. Based on your needs, I may adapt my approach to include mindfulness.
