About me

I finished my Master in Counseling degree in 1997. I opened my own practice, Passionately Ever after Counseling, in 1999 in Collin County, Texas. As I grew my practice I did contract work with major outplacement firms, an alcohol treatment center and a methadone clinic. In my private practice, I have worked with individual adults, couples and teenagers and/or their families. In addition, I have supervised many counseling interns.

Through my own individual counseling and training, I have mastered the art of helping clients identify, respect and honor their free child, viewed as the soul and essence of who they really are. Allowing that "spirit" or "energy" to inspire their life and choices will transform their life into an exciting and passionate adventure. It is this "free spirit" in me that led to the genesis of Passionately Ever After Counseling.

Gary is a very easy person to open up to. He’s a great listener and gives you small activities to do outside of therapy to build on to what you discussed.

I had no previous counseling experience to refer to, but I immediately felt comfortable working with Gary. After a few months I feel like his style helped me get on the right path mentally. He is professional yet easy going and great at listening. I also appreciated when he would be straight-forward when I was straying. Great person to work with!
