About me

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate family dynamics, trauma recovery, grief, and personal growth. I offer compassionate, affirming care for individuals facing communication difficulties, social anxiety, relationship struggles, and identity-related concerns.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with life changes, workplace stress, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I have extensive experience supporting diverse populations, including young adults, older adults, and individuals navigating complex family systems. My practice welcomes LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a progressive, non-judgmental therapeutic space.

Gaynor has assisted me with a number of ways to conquer my anxiety, despite my drawbacks. I hope to keep working with them for the foreseeable future.

She understood my concerns and had a solid game plan by the end of our first session. She's incredibly intuitive and has helped me along so much in the last couple years. I can't brag on her enough!
