Hi there, I'm Gina!

Balancing the demands of life, family, and work can be overwhelming. My approach views all clients as having the ability to work through challenges. Sometimes all you need is a little help to move forward. I know seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making the right decision.

My focus

I work well with clients seeking to heal from trauma and those experiencing anxiety and depression. Throughout my career, my clients have taught me that strength and resiliency often develop from life challenges. I spend time getting to know your problem issues, then ask about ways you have overcome tough situations in the past.

My approach

Building upon your strengths and past coping mechanisms will help you develop better ways of managing stress and conflict. I use interventions such as meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and solution-focused therapy to tackle the issues affecting your emotional wellbeing.
