Gary holds a BSW from UH-Downtown, as well as an MSW from UH-GCSW. Gary also is a Trauma Fellow and GLOBE Youth Behavioral Health Fellow. He achieved his LMSW in 2016. Often descried as funny, supportive and outgoing, Gary became a therapist because he loves helping people and enjoys seeing change in someone who is struggling. He hopes his relaxed and open approach helps guests know that they are team. He believes that therapy should be guest-centered and guest-led.
Gary has experience as a student and family counselor at a private high school, providing school-based mental health services, primarily supporting students and families struggling with anxiety and depression. He also has worked with incarcerated young adult males in mental health and substance abuse/behavioral modification treatment.
Outside of work, Gary enjoys fishing and watching travel documentaries, as well as spending time with family and friends. He once was attacked by an ostrich. Gary also is visually impaired. “But for the grace of God, there go I.”
