About me
I have over 15 years of experience providing therapeutic support to individuals navigating mental health and addiction-related challenges in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with children (ages 6 and up), adolescents, and adults, helping them manage life’s difficulties and emotional stressors with compassion and evidence-based care. My therapeutic approach integrates Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Brief Psychodynamic interventions to address symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse. I am dedicated to fostering a safe and supportive space where clients can build insight, resilience, and emotional well-being. I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Master of Arts in International Studies from East Carolina University. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I also offer therapy services to Spanish-speaking individuals.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions before diving into the specific challenges you’re facing and what you hope to address in therapy. This is a space for you to share your experiences and concerns at your own pace. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to guide our work in follow-up sessions, ensuring our approach aligns with your needs and goals. My goal is to provide a supportive, validating, and collaborative environment where you feel heard and empowered on your path to healing.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I offer a variety of telehealth resources to support you in achieving your treatment goals, making therapy accessible and convenient. I understand the importance of validation in the healing process, and I also provide education on practical coping skills that can be used consistently in daily life. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready to address the core issues impacting their well-being—those experiencing depressive episodes and anxiety who seek support through validation, education, exploration, and reflection.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is valuable in understanding how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors. As we examine these connections, we will also explore effective strategies to manage negative, distorted, and irrational thoughts that impact our feelings and actions, helping us regulate them more effectively.
Christian Counseling
Faith-based counseling is available and can be integrated into the therapy process, aligning with your personal belief system to provide support and guidance.
Motivational Interviewing
It is essential for individuals to feel validated in their experiences and emotions and to have a safe, judgment-free space to process them. Motivational Interviewing fosters this environment, enabling clinicians to meet individuals where they are in their therapeutic journey and support their growth at their own pace.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy, combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helps individuals decenter—a practice of observing thoughts and emotions with awareness, accepting them without attachment or reaction. This approach encourages letting go of distorted thinking and rumination, fostering a greater sense of presence and emotional balance.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care provides a supportive approach to exploring trauma without requiring individuals to revisit every detail, reducing the risk of re-traumatization. Instead, the focus is on acknowledging that the trauma occurred and understanding its impact on the present, allowing for healing and growth in a safe and compassionate space.

I just want to say how grateful I am for my therapist, Gigi. She is incredibly intelligent, and I truly appreciate the knowledge and insight she brings to every session. One of the things I value most is that she always helps me recognize my strengths, even when I have a hard time seeing them myself. She listens without judgment, makes me feel heard and understood, and creates a safe space where I can continue to grow.
