Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious or unsure what comes next in life, especially after the last year or so? Or it could be you just don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure why. You are not alone. To have problems means that you are human; but there is hope. I provide a warm, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them and what’s getting in their way. I help clients learn to feel more comfortable with their emotions, to experiment with different ways of relating to their thoughts and feelings, to cultivate resilience, and to develop the self-trust and self-compassion that will support them along their paths. Therapy provides you with a place to work on and work out your concerns, to be heard and reflect, and to take some space for yourself. Together, we will explore the underlying reasons for your troubles, what it might mean for you to “feel better” and begin to live a more productive, meaningful and engaged life. I use an integrative approach consisting of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based interventions.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will spend time exploring what is keeping you stuck and what you are hoping to achieve in our work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I really enjoy helping people that experience a lot of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I do this by helping people learn how to mindfully accept their feelings and thoughts.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients that are eager for change and need tools to make that happen.

Gina is fantastic. She was early to my appointment and made me feel comfortable right from the start. Her demeanor is warm, kind, and accepting. I felt like I was in a safe space.
