Gemma is wonderful. Professional yet caring. Encouraging, helpful. She has really helped me a lot. She's a good listener and provides the right amount of feedback and advice. Several things she has brought to my attention has really helped. I.e. black and white thinking, catastrophizing things, etc. Concrete things I tend to do that make me unhappy. She has been able to schedule and reschedule to help adapt to my needs. She is the best!
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Gemma!

I'm passionate about helping individuals and families improve their mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. I address trauma, substance use, and career challenges with a warm, authentic approach in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive setting.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating life transitions, managing stress, developing coping skills, improving self-esteem, and addressing family conflicts. My goal is to empower you to utilize different tools and strategies that will teach you to be your own therapist.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and incorporates evidence-based interventions to meet your individualized needs. I specialize in cognitive behavioral treatments for depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and co-occurring disorders. While the journey may not always be easy, I'll challenge you to be brave, meet you where you are, and encourage you to grow.
