Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Gerald. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Military Family Life Counselor with more than 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in both military and civilian settings. I help individuals and couples through stress, relationship concerns, trauma, identity exploration, and the everyday challenges of being human. I specialize in relationship repair, infidelity recovery, grief and loss, depression, or spiritual concerns. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including professionals navigating work pressures, people in seasons of transition, those exploring attachment and identity, and anyone seeking greater clarity, healing, or growth.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw on evidence-based, client-centered approaches such as strengths-based work, multicultural counseling, and trauma-informed care to understand your unique story and support the goals that matter most to you. Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen communication, build self-worth, and create practical tools so you can move through life with more confidence and ease.

I believe in practicing what I teach. I don't recommend tools I haven't used myself, and I see wellness as a lifelong personal commitment.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is meant to feel safe, real, and human. I bring humility, a bit of humor when it fits, and deep respect for the courage it takes to show up and do this work. What moves me most is watching people reconnect with their resilience and rediscover parts of themselves they thought were lost.

If you're looking for steady support, honest reflection, and a caring space to grow, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
