I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a diverse set of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, family conflict, school problems, eating disorders, gender and sexuality issues, multicultural and acculturation issues, among others.
Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to establish a healing relationship in which you can become aware of your strengths and challenges in a safe space in order to recognize the changes you want to make in your life and appreciate the qualities that are worth holding onto. Quite simply, it is a process of taking ownership of your own life. To help you do so, I provide a respectful, collaborative, and kind listening space. For me, it is most important that you feel that you are the expert in your life. I have found that this type of experience helps my clients enjoy a better quality of life and experience relief from distress.

Unfortunately I am unable to welcome new clients at this time… A doctor colleague of mine refers people to me saying, "if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, I recommend Gina." My style is a blend of warm, safe, open-hearted acceptance, and curious, challenging, emotional work: all within the context of a real relationship. I have over thirty years of experience and can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others, improve both your work and family life, change behaviors that aren't working for you, and feel more at peace.

When you are no longer able to use your internal resources or the feedback from friends and family to cope with or shift your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, therapy provides an alternative way to actualize change.
I work with adults (18+) to help reduce emotional distress, improve and deepen relationships, and explore what is causing feelings of anxiety, depression, or unhappiness. Overwhelming negative emotions are often caused by family conflict, disappointments at work, questions about identity, a breakup or loss, or other significant life events. I specialize in helping people with the transition from school to the workplace, infertility, new parenthood, career/financial pressures, comparison to others, uncertainty about occupation or partner, fears of failure, relationship instability, self-criticism, difficulties with family.

My specialties include adolescent/ family issues and conflicts, depression, anxiety, relationship and grief issues, as well as school motivational issues.
Sometimes life is just too hard or stressful to manage by yourself. It can be a relief to talk with someone who can help you work through your stress, to hear other perspectives and to help to make adjustments to face life's challenges. I believe that a trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, in a warm and safe environment, can be essential to confronting and overcoming life's difficulties.

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. Many of our pitfalls, our "relapses" in behavior, are related to maladaptive patterns with family or intimate partners. Our work in therapy is to understand these patterns and learn how to change them. If depression is dwelling in the past, and anxiety is living in the future, our therapeutic goal is to live in the present, towards a more authentic and mindful reality.

I'm passionate about working with couples. More than ever, relationship stressors and everyday issues can undermine connection, and result in couples feeling frustrated, stuck, confused and alone. Working together, we'll uncover and transform these negative cycles of interaction into positive experiences, where collaboration about differences, intimacy and joy are possible.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
