Geri is great! It's always an ongoing conversation and she listens very well. She's never afraid to push back and be honest with me. I started therapy at the start of my gender transition and she has helped me be more comfortable/confident with myself every step of the way. I can tell that she is genuinely happy and proud when I make progress in my transition, relationships, and my mental health. Very open minded and understanding, I have really enjoyed my experience with her

One of the kindest, most insightful people I have ever met. Is helpful without being pushy and understanding without being judgmental. If everyone could have an hour a week with Geri the world would be a better place. Strongly recommend.

Geri is the first therapist I’ve worked with. I came to a point in my life where I had the space emotionally and physically to even understand that therapy would help me very very much. I did a course with Thomas HUBL and Terry Real with healing trauma and that led me to do an Internet search and found better help and when I did my questionnaire, I was matched with Geri who has been very helpful and works with me.
I have been living with a long-term disability for 30 years.
