Grounded in a trauma-informed lens, she approaches each person with
openness and deep respect, honoring the richness of different traditions, backgrounds, and lived experiences.
CLINICAL APPROACH

Client Testimonials
"It's been wonderful; just what I was hoping for and needed at the time. My counselor created a safe and nurturing space to process and reflect on my thoughts, feelings and life events while nudging me, through her thoughtful questioning, to expand my awareness and see things from a broader perspective."
"We've seen great progress in how our daughter handles her emotions.'
"Very helpful. Gina is very knowledgeable and supportive in each session. She recalls things I have said and provides valuable insight and techniques that I can use in my personal and professional life."
"Wonderful. Gina is an active listener, remembers what I say and always makes me feel
comfortable with what I say and how I feel. Provides meaningful feedback that I continue to use each day."
Supervisor Mission Statement
My mission as a supervisor is to create a supportive and reflective space where therapists can grow in confidence, clarity, and clinical competence. I am dedicated to fostering a relationship rooted in trust, curiosity, and mutual respect—where honest dialogue and mindful self-inquiry are encouraged and valued.
Recognizing that therapeutic work is both an art and a discipline, I guide supervisees in cultivating their professional identity, deepening their presence with clients, and meeting clinical challenges with integrity and self-awareness. Drawing from nature-informed perspectives that weave together somatic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and contemplative practices, I aim to support holistic learning and sustainable growth—honoring the whole person in their role as a healer.
