Empowering

Hello! I am a passionate therapist who uses an eclectic mix of techniques tailored to fit each individual's needs. I am well-versed in working with those struggling with a range of life stressors and transitions. I bring a unique understanding of the complex ways in which family, peers, romantic relationships, and school dynamics interact and affect people. My sessions are conversational, interactive, and grounded in understanding your world as it is right now. I will listen deeply, pick up on patterns, and reflect things back in a way that helps things click. Expect honesty, support, and a space where you don’t have to filter yourself. I welcome you to begin your journey in the comfort of a space with someone who can empathize, advocate, and encourage self-empowerment.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, you should expect to discuss your current issues/barriers and goals for the next 3 months (if we are a good fit together).

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My eclectic approach to therapy meets clients where they are at. I also like to incorporate aspects of a client's life such as the past experiences that have shaped them today, the present stressors, and future goals/barriers.

Gyngear's authenticity comes through immediately, she made me feel comfortable right away. She listens like a friend but challenges you as a professional should which brought so many things to light for me in just one session. Her approach to our first session helped me to clarify my goals instead of giving my whole history and not knowing where to start.
