Hello and welcome to my profile. I'm glad you're reaching out and seeking resources. You're currently on your way to having your best life. A little about me: I have 25 years of clinical experience, and always give my clients the time and attention they deserve. I have a holistic approach which usually includes working with mind, body, and spirit (certified in mental health integrative medicine). In my personal life I'm quite spiritual and tend to bring that aspect into my work. My clients typically experience profound changes and personal growth during therapy with me and beyond as they go on with their life journeys. I'm so grateful to be able to assist in those experiences!
I look forward to any questions you may have about counseling, my approach, or this process. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns, as it is easy to do on this platform. As you can probably see, it’s a really innovative program, like we have our own private virtual therapy room! It's a great resource for so many people and I'm really glad you found it.
Please note that I check messages and respond on a daily basis on most weekdays. However, nights, weekends, and holidays I'm usually not working. I take time off to enjoy life, spend some family time, and recharge. Therefore, I do not respond to messages or offer live sessions during night, weekend, or holiday times.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from you. Always remember to take good care and be kind to yourself.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Has been a great 3 sessions so far. I enjoy my time w her and look forward to more sessions.
It's only been a couple of weeks, but I already feel an immense amount of clarity around improving areas in my life that have felt out of control. Gina is so kind and compassionate and really listens with an open mind. I'm so excited to continue our work together!
Gina is an absolute gem. I feel so lucky to have connected with her in this space. She is a fantastic listener, has wonderful experience and insights to share. EVERY single time we connect, whether it’s our weekly call or in between sessions, she offers me something that I can apply.
Gina is warm and personable, offering advice and ideas in response to issues. She also offers a non-judgemental voice during sessions.
Excellent counselor. I only intended on using Better Help for a few weeks so my ending has nothing to do with her
Gina is an excellent counselor, very kind and supportive.
