Authentic
Empowering
Solution oriented

I have a combined 20+ years of experience as a Medical Social Worker, Grief Counselor, and psychotherapist. I received my Masters degree in 2003 from California State University. I have spent most of my career guiding adolescents and adults through a variety of challenging life experiences that can impact a person emotionally and mentally. I have assisted clients in overcoming a variety of challenging situations by recognizing their inner strengths and learning to overcome lifelong fears and self-doubts. It is my mission to help you live the fullest life you can and say no to limiting self-criticisms. This is what inspires my practice.

I also enjoy sharing the neuroscience behind why we think and feel the way we do and teaching you how to rewire thought patterns to improve your capacity for success in life.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic models and theories because I know that there is no one size fits all approach to understanding you and your life experiences.

First session

In our first session together, we’ll start with a brief introductions, review your motivation for seeking therapy, then dive into specific challenges, you’re facing. This will help me to create a plan for us to work through and future sessions together.

SPECIALTIES • Anxiety and Depression Management • Grief Counseling • Self-Esteem Development • Overcoming Family Conflict • Building Relationship Communication skills • Trauma and Abuse Recovery • Substance Abuse Recovery

Ideal clients

I very much enjoy working with young adults and helping them find their path in life. And adults going through a change of life phase who can benefit from talk therapy guidance and support. I focus on teaching self acceptance and confidence building through learning about how our internal self talk guides our habits behaviors and choices we make in life. I teach people how to gain better control of those internal thoughts and build self confidence and the rest comes into place much more smoothly.

I've been working with Genny for more than three years, and I'm grateful for her support. She brings warmth and compassion to every session while helping me challenge thought patterns that can interfere with healthy coping and growth. She creates space for reflection, sits comfortably with silence, and gently encourages me when I feel stuck. Genny has been an invaluable part of my support system, and I highly recommend her.
