Are you a high-capacity professional who has mastered external success but lost your internal Autonomy? Many high achievers find themselves in a 'crisis-cycle'—performing at an elite level while their nervous system remains in a state of survival. I specialize in helping you move from functional alarm to authentic self-regulation. Using the framework of Self-Determination Theory, we focus on three pillars of recovery: Autonomy: Reclaiming your power of choice. Competence: Mastering your own physiological regulation and cognitive clarity. Relatedness: Fostering deeper, more nurturing connections with yourself and others.

I believe that a healthy outlook comes from having a good grasp of your ABC's... Accept, Balance, Cope. People often say things like, "I need to let it go," or "I need to forgive ...," etc. But we rarely talk about what it means to do that. Those phrases mean accepting that life is what it is-a balance of both good and bad-and making a choice to focus on the things we CAN change. Then "it" can stop directing our lives-we cope. Whether you need to let go of anger, fear, or sadness, I can help!

I provide a supportive and compassionate environment for therapy, where I specialize in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship challenges. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of considering and honoring the entirety of one's mind being: mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I understand that different life circumstances may require different therapeutic approaches, whether it's providing support and coping strategies during difficult times or delving deeper into gaining insight to transform old patterns.

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. Maybe you’re in recovery and things feel more stable, but beneath the surface, you’re noticing familiar patterns—people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, feeling disconnected or stuck. Or maybe you’ve always been the high achiever, the caretaker, the one holding it all together—and now anxiety or burnout is catching up. You want more than just coping; you want to understand yourself deeply, break old cycles, and live a life that feels authentic, grounded, and truly your own. You’re ready for deeper work and real growth.

Pain is part of the human experience. Rather than efforts of eliminating distress, I invite individuals to amplify their awareness of thoughts, sensations, and impulses that contribute to pain and suffering. This mindful practice, coupled with self-compassion, can mobilize healing, increase our ability to manage distress, and expand our resilience. Collaboratively, we will explore options for creating a meaningful life.

Hi! I'm Gio. Welcome! I provide socio-culturally attuned support to help clients reclaim their peace and grow into their most authentic selves. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients. Women's mental health, gender-based pressures and complex trauma are some of the issues I gravitate towards as a therapist. I have a "soft spot" for those grappling with grief processing. I'm not only referring to death and dying, but other losses that often leave a profound impact. I also really enjoy connecting with fellow immigrant women.

Through EMDR and trauma-focused therapy, we’ll work together to shift what feels unmovable, helping you reclaim confidence and clarity.
I specialize in EMDR therapy because it’s a proven method for trauma recovery, anxiety, and emotional distress. EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories in a way that reduces their impact—without reliving the pain. It’s a powerful tool to regain control, find relief, and move forward with confidence.

It’s completely normal to struggle with sharing your true thoughts, feelings, needs, and desires with others. Know that it would be a privilege to support you in lightening the heavy burden of pain that you've been carrying for too long.

I resonate with the Christian community and, in addition, folk who may have their own religion and have a totally different worldview, which is perfectly OK. I find that all still yearn for belonging, acceptance, and a strong desire to be seen as special by themselves and those they love. Unfortunately, life and the important people in your world, as a child or later, did not cooperate. Instead, they treated you with shame, verbal abuse, rejection, and you were led to believe that you were marred or flawed in some way, resulting in a sense of worthlessness. We were then, at a young age, forced to learn coping skills to sort of exist
