HI, and nice to meet you! I am Gina, often called "Dr. G.". Do you sometimes feel as though you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? I empower individuals/families to learn to overcome the burdens that life can bring. I am a therapist, but generally considered a Human Advocate, or one who helps to complete life's puzzles. I enjoy helping others take apart the pieces of the puzzle that don't fit well, organizing them, then putting them back together completely. We all deserve a little help sometimes, and that’s what led you here. If you’re feeling like something has got to give but you don’t know what, reach out. We can work on a solution together. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you on this journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will provide introductions to one another, then discuss the challenges you are facing. This conversation will assist me in creating a step-by-step plan for us to work thru such challenges and create a map to address any obstacles.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I lean toward utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral approach but have many years of training and experience which allow me to pull from various other treatment methods to create an integrative approach, as I believe there is not one approach that works for all.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The areas I feel the strongest in are my highly evolved listening skills, being easy to talk to, and being authentic. I believe in the worth of people and their potential to grow, improve, and make life a wonderful experience.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with all age groups, from 13 to 65+. I bring a great deal of life experience, plus 20+ years of counseling experience to the table. Life sometimes throws us a curve, and we may need help to get around that curve - to get back on our journey thru life.
