Ginger is a dedicated and compassionate therapist supporting adults and adolescents navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. She specializes in eating disorders, OCD, and anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder, and also treats relationship difficulties, trauma, and mood disorders. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based care: every treatment plan is carefully grounded in research and tailored to each client's unique background, personal history, existing strengths, and goals. She places strong emphasis on equipping clients with practical skills they can use beyond the therapy room.
Ginger has advanced training in CBT, DBT, and ACT, which she integrates based on each client's individual needs, helping them challenge unhelpful thought patterns, regulate difficult emotions, build distress tolerance, and develop the psychological flexibility to move toward a meaningful, values-driven life. Her style is warm, authentic, and collaborative.
Ginger served as lead therapist at Eating Disorder Recovery Specialists in residential and IOP settings, and as program director at The Friendship Circle, leading groups for mothers, families, and those with social anxiety. A former Division 1 squash player at George Washington University - ranked top 10 in the US - she brings that same drive to her work.
