About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience working with adults of all ages. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, loss and separation, relationship issues, parenting problems, caregiving conflicts, and issues with work/home balance.

I am primarily a cognitive therapist who works with clients to identify and correct thinking styles that interfere with achievement of personal goals. I approach each client with dignity and respect and strive to develop a positive therapeutic alliance in which I partner with clients to achieve their desired clinical success.

I check messages mid-morning and mid-afternoon seven days a week, so you will hear back from me the day of your initial contact, or the very next day, at the latest. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how we can work together to achieve your personal goals.

Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of assistance. In crisis situations, please call 911 or your local emergency services. You can also call 988 to talk to someone right away.

Ginna has been an amazing therapist for me for multiple different things. She helps me navigate my day to day life, gives me strategies to use, and always listens to what my concerns are in a very respectful and caring way. I stopped therapy for a while and when I needed to come back I knew I wanted her to stay my therapist.

I have been working with Ginna for over a month now and couldn't be happier. She is incredibly insightful and helpful understanding relationship dynamics and what makes people tic. I came into this service skeptical of how a remote counselor could help me; after the first session I realized she was someone I wish I would've been working with many years ago. I walk away from every one of our appointments feeling more confident, and with a better sense of understanding of myself and my partner. She is a wealth of knowledge and has such a great perspective on life. I would encourage anyone to reach out for help and advice from her.
