Hi, my name is Mary—most people call me Gigi. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience offering compassionate, supportive therapy. If you’re feeling worn down by anxiety, depression, grief, or a major life transition, you’re not alone. You may look “fine” on the outside while feeling exhausted, stuck, or disconnected inside. You’re likely seeking real relief, clearer direction, and coping tools that truly help—not just quick fixes, but deeper healing. You want to feel understood, regain hope and confidence, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and grounding in your life.

I offer a warm, supportive space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. Using CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR, I help you understand what’s keeping you stuck and build practical tools to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. If faith matters to you, I can gently integrate a Christian perspective, honoring your values and pace.

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? You don’t have to face it alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you’ll have someone to talk to who respects your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll build practical skills for real change and move toward hope, healing, and peace. Please call or email to schedule a 15-minute video consultation.
