Real help for people who really want it!
"...how do you show gratitude to someone who helped you
regain your life? You are truly great at what you do
and I use your lessons every day."
Leslie, 43, Fairfield
"...I cannot tell you how much better our sessions have made me feel...I now
feel confident about confronting all the emotionally difficult parts of life...
you've really transformed my outlook and perspective."
Kara, 19 Wilton
Over the past 40 years researchers have tried to determine what kind of psychotherapy really works. Many studies show the degree of success of one technique or another, but the one most reliable predictor of success in psychotherapy is "a therapeutic relationship."
In my 20 years as a therapist, I have always known this to be true. It's one of the reasons I work especially hard to connect with each client in a person to person, open-hearted way. I match my style to each person's needs and comfort level and aim to find their working edge.
It's a sign of your wisdom and responsibility to begin or return to counseling or psychotherapy. I appreciate your visiting my website as you seek to find the right person to join you on this path of self-understanding and change--it's brave of you to be taking this step. So despite any trepidation you may have, I applaud your willingness to do so.
Whether you struggle with traditionally defined symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD or bipolarity, or you experience conflict within yourself or in your relationships, I can help you make changes on the inside that will improve your life on the outside.
With a blend of dedication, humor and compassion, I work to create a safe and supportive space for you to address:
~ behaviors that aren't working for you
such as addiction, trying to control others, avoiding problems, eating and body image problems
~ strong emotions that overwhelm you
such as anger, sadness, fear or grief
~ being emotionally shut down,
~ self-defeating patterns
choosing unavailable partners, giving your power away, keeping people at a distance
~ challenging life circumstances
illness, divorce, parenting, death, relocation, career change, infertility
~ finding life isn't turning out how you thought it would
"Gina brings a level of empathy to our sessions
that I have not found in other practices."
