He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, career concerns, addictions, ADHD, and midlife crisis among other challenges. Gene aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to make practical changes.

He draws on client-centered care to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities. Existential ideas are woven in to help people clarify values, identity, and life purpose. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used to support behavioral change and build coping skills.

Approach and online therapy options

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s concerns front and center. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and clarity about next steps.

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, identity, and life purpose. It helps people facing midlife crisis, big transitions, or uncertainty about values by encouraging reflection and choices that align with what matters most.

Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. These techniques can reduce reactivity, support stress management, and improve sleep and pain coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and current needs, and can adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care through life changes while keeping focus on practical skills and meaningful goals.
