  • children of abuse and trauma
    (death, abuse, illness, adoption,
    divorce, etc.)
Gary approaches psychotherapy from a depth approach to psychology,
specializing in
analytical and archetypal foundations to growth and
change.  Regardless of the type of therapy (individual, couple, etc.)
Gary's approach to the therapeutic relationship is one of an experiential
nature; bringing forth active involvement, investment, and emotionality
of the therapist; expression on a human to human level.

Adult Individual Psychotherapy:
Through an understanding of unconscious drives, self-defeating beliefs
and behaviors we can begin to construct a healthy balance in life.

Child Therapy: While a similar approach to child and adolescent
psychotherapy is used as with adults, a heavier influence on altering
thinking and feeling is used in changing behavior and self-esteem; this
accomplished particularly through expressive, art, and other types of
play therapy.  
Play therapy is generally employed with children ages 3 to
11, and  provides a way for children to express their experiences and
feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s
experiences and knowledges are often communicated through play, it
becomes an important vehicle for them know and accept themselves and
others.

Couples/Relationship Therapy: Gary implores a wide rage of
communication building and language altering techniques with couples
to help guide them through rough transitions and towards restructuring
their relationship.  The relationship involved may be between members of
a family, couples, employees or employers in a workplace, or between a
professional and a client, etc. .Learn more about Relationship Therapy

entrance and exit for more discerning clients.
