About Gina
Gina has a background in gerontology and additional training in behaviors and cognitive care tied to dementia. She has led grief support groups and spent time helping people manage losses that come from death or other life changes. That experience informs how she meets people during difficult transitions.
Her style is strengths-based. She notices the resilience people already have and helps replace coping habits that no longer serve them. Practical changes might include shifting patterns like smoking, drinking, or overeating toward healthier alternatives.
Gina uses a small set of therapies to guide sessions, including mindfulness and acceptance-based methods, client-centered listening, and motivational strategies. She adapts those approaches to the goals a person brings in the first few sessions. Together they outline concrete steps and track progress.
She helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, depression, relationship and intimacy-related matters, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. Gina aims to give focused attention and practical tools so people can move toward a more rewarding life.
