I am a licensed professional counselor in Alabama. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, panic disorder, social phobia, body image issues, addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders, PTSD, and victims of abuse and exploitation.
My counseling style is based on unconditional positive regard. I believe every client deserves a compassionate, non-judgmental environment to share their difficulties. I employ a number of techniques and modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic and mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focussed therapy. All treatment is tailored to meet the individual need of each client.
My goal is to help each client achieve a healthier, happier, and more rewarding life. It would be my privilege to work with you!

Gina knows my concerns and is working with me to come to peace with past trauma. She gives me simple insight and anecdotes to help along my way.

Gina has been wonderful to work with. She is thoughtful and personable, and has helped me work through many issues that I thought I would have to just live with. I feel supported every time we talk, and I have the tools now to deal with situations that would have previously left me feeling embarrassed, angry, or unheard. I have a new found confidence thanks to Gina, and I would heartily recommend her to anyone seeking help with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism.

7 long years have gone by since my first (wrong) diagnosis and in all these years of in-person therapy I’ve never found a therapist who’s helped as much as Gina. Gina is incredible. She’s kind, understanding, she never made me feel judged, she’s been firm at times when she needed to, and was always there to help. I recommend her if you want to work hard. It’ll be worth it.
Written on Jan 24, 2022 after therapy with Gina for 4 months on issues concerning grief, self esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes
Gina has helped me so much. When I first came to therapy, I was lost in a fog of trying to understand someone else's hurtful and irrational behaviors that had devastated me. In the very first session, she gave me insights that completely changed my outlook in a positive way. With her help, I'm taking my power back in my life, staying healthy, and changing my situation for the better. Without her help, I'm sure I would still be stuck trying to untangle a skein that had no end. I recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.

Gina is kind and compassionate. She is wise, understands underlying issues and reads between the lines. I’ve only started therapy with her but I feel like there is a safe place to be vulnerable and honest.
