In my experience, I have learned that “hitting rock bottom” does not mean the end of your life, but rather a chance to rebuild your life the way you want it. Life can get stressful and often leave one “suffocating” from the pressure. It is in those moments that you may need someone to stand in the chaos with you and help you rebuild. Life involves learning and "unlearning" ideals, habits, and ways of thinking. I have an integrated theoretical approach to meet the needs of my clients, however my primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral. I assist clients with understanding how their thoughts influence their feelings and behavior.

Our weight-obsessed culture chastises and shames you, as though your body size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you started internalizing this anti-fat bias, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You either avoid seeking medical care altogether, or expose yourself to the risk of weight stigma (far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself). You forgot how to nourish yourself – sometimes forbidding yourself food, sometimes isolating in shame for a binge, sometimes "paying" via purge. But friend, you are meant to bloom - not shrink.

Hi! I’m Gina and I specialize in empowering people to recognize that there are valid reasons why they feel the way they feel and do the things they do.

I work with older adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, past or recent trauma, coping with transitions and changes in their lives, ADHD & depression.

The type of client that I am most interested in working with is someone who is eager and prepared to make positive changes in their life. They should be willing to put in the necessary effort to achieve their goals. I appreciate individuals who are in touch with their true motivations and believe that they have the ability to accomplish more than their present situation may indicate.

Currently, I am seeking clients who have a degree of insight and understanding as to what they would like to work on in therapy and perhaps a sense of how a problem began to arise. I am taking a little bit of my own medicine to step away from some work that I found to be so stressful that it was difficult to achieve a work- life balance and focus on clients that have an internal drive and and motivation to put work into therapy and focus on a problem they have identified.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I received a Master of Science in Counseling from Capella University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. Treatment modalities in which I have experience include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It has been my observation that since 2020, there has been a growing need for accessibility to services and telehealth platforms help to provide services for client's who might otherwise not get the support that they need.

I work exclusively with couples who are seeking a secure relationship. Relationships are complex for so many reasons, but often not the reasons you think. Together we figure out what gets in the way of you having a relationship based on security and true collaboration. Many couples I meet lack the solid foundation to build a peaceful and vital relationship. Without a secure base and solid structure, partners can't relax and be themselves. A secure relationship both grounds and develops each partner.

Do you struggle with your inner thoughts, your motivation, or life’s transitions? Have you turned to using substances as a way to cope? Would life be different if you didn’t have constant worry, anger or frustration?
