Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

I'm Gina! I'm a board certified Mental Health Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor. I love helping clients through issues like Depression, Anxiety, Addictions, Relationships, Women's Issues, Spirituality, LGBTQ, Mood Disorders and more. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to!

Is life not going quite as well as you hoped? Struggling with past hurts and trauma? Feeling less motivated or more anxious? Parenting and life transitions are difficult? My passion to explore, learn, and help others, motivates me to find the best ways to help you become a better, happier, more fulfilled you. Feeling better is possible through self-discovery and connection with others. Clients have described my approach as warm and easy going and judgement free.

Therapy provides us the opportunity for greater self-discovery and deepened self-understanding. The person I enjoy working with is someone who is genuinely curious about what makes them tick, why they make choices that sink their dreams or sabotage the relationships important to them; but who are also wanting to know their strengths and talents so they can embrace and use them more effectively.

Feeling that you've done all you can, yet your relationship seems lost in painful confusion and misunderstanding? We all wish for love and understanding, especially with people in our family and close relationships. Unfortunately, we often become entangled in anger and resentment that can be destructive. It feels impossible to break out of such painful patterns. Where do we begin? How will we restore integrity and trust? How will we decrease the likelihood we'll find ourselves in this kind of situation again in the future? Begin with re-establishing trust in yourself and in your ability to love well.

I work with empowering people to be the best they can be. I work with identify your personal resources and move towards developing a plan to commit to your growth, development and self care. It's all about moving forward!

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.
