I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire (License # 2518) with 3 years of clinical mental health counseling experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am a Professional Member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA). As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I am governed by the AMHCA Code of Ethics.
I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2019, from Southern New Hampshire University Manchester, NH. I am also a Reiki Master which I currently do not practice on others. I use it for my own personal growth and spirituality.
Before entering private practice, I worked with families who are working with DCYF on reunification due to neglect or abuse at Home Base Collaborative Family Counseling (HBCFC). I have also worked with students who have difficulties engaging in school by helping develop a School to Home Connections program at HBCFC. I was the DBT Coordinator at HBCFC and completed the Marsha Linehan, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Intensive Training from Behavioral Tech facilitated by Anthony P. DuBose, PsyD and Vibh Forsythe-Cox, PhD on 11/14/2022. Currently, I provide individual therapy for a wide variety of difficulties. My main areas of focus are anger, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. I work with all ages.
I use many different modalities such as CBT, Person Center, Solution Focused, and DBT. Since my DBT training I have focused on using DBT skills (mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, Walking the Middle Path, and emotion regulation). DBT is an evidenced based practice and although the strongest evidence exists for DBT as a treatment for people with borderline personality disorder, DBT has been found to be effective for a wide variety of mental health conditions and a way to make your life worth living.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Family conflicts, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, ADHD
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy

I have only had one session with him. And I feel like he understands what I’m talking about and he gives me a few different avenues to help me process when I am going through.

Gary is a great listener and writer who knows his stuff! I feel like he is the closest thing to having a friend who isn't afraid to tell me things to help me be a better person as well as find out things about me I seem to ignore or not see. I'm thankful.
