Hi, I’m Susan—a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Addictions Professional, and Substance Abuse Professional. I hold a master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of West Florida and have been working in the mental health and substance abuse field since 2009 (licensed since 2012).
My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and real partnership. I work as hard as you do to help you return to your best self. I believe lasting change happens between sessions—so I give you practical tools and support, but the real healing comes from what you do with them.

To live a rich and meaningful life means to experience a wide variety of emotions, some of which are more desirable than others. Sometimes our life experiences can be so overwhelming that we find ourselves struggling just to get through the day. For some of us, mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD or substance abuse problems can make life difficult or even unmanageable. I believe that therapy is a place where people experiencing mental distress can process emotions, learn coping skills and work toward goals in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment.

That's where I am come in: I’m here to provide a safe environment for individuals to overcome past struggles, challenge & replace negative beliefs, develop healthy coping skills, and reach healing.

Practice! All of life is practice. Hi, I’m Gina. It would be an honor to be a small part of your journey in the ever-evolving practice of leaning into life and learning to feel alive in who you are.

I am passionate about working with those who feel as if they'll never break free from their past. Those who struggle with and can't seem to escape the same patterns, thoughts, and feelings.

I take special care in gently creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self, while honoring your unique journey. I have specialized training and experience working with those impacted by trauma, and guiding them towards healing.

Stressed? Anxious? Generally feeling overwhelmed with emotions, and need someone to talk to? Let's figure it out together! As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I put a lot of focus into trauma healing, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This method can be used for many different issues, as well as processing any early trauma, this is often present when we can’t quite figure out why our mind and body are always on high alert. Our bodies do really well in telling us what we need to work through. I can help you become more attuned to your needs.
