Hi there, I'm Gerard!

Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot for others. Therapy is a space to slow down, focus on yourself, and build tools for lasting change. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Marine Corps Veteran, but before all that, I am a father. I have over 12 years of VA clinical experience supporting adults through life’s challenges.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have particular experience supporting Veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, and helping professionals.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based. We work together to understand what’s getting in the way and build skills that actually work in daily life. I use CBT, CPT, and other structured approaches tailored to your needs and goals.
