This integrative approach allows for a collaborative style to psychotherapy centered around the best fit for each individual.

“We all know life certainly can be chaotic and stressful, but I believe the power of psychotherapy can be very impactful in dealing with all of life’s hardships. It is my goal to create a safe, comfortable, and collaborative environment for therapy. I strive to make each appointment a good experience as I believe this is the first step in promoting healing and growth.”
Through her calm and empathic nature, Gina is able to provide a space for clients to feel heard and not judged. When appropriate, Gina enjoys bringing her own personality and humor to sessions.
“Therapy can be intense. and it is important to make sure to take time during sessions to laugh, practice relaxation techniques, and mindfulness when necessary.”
