Gyna is amazing! She takes time to listen to my concerns and helps me dive deep into why I see things a certain way or react a certain way. She provides meaningful feedback and great supplementary resources as well. Thank you Gyna!

Gyna was such a joy to work with and helped me tremendously in exploring my anxieties and fears and working through my patterns. I highly recommend her. She made therapy feel less intimating and I was able to be completely myself around her. Thank you, Gyna!

She is incredible and really validates you as a person.
She doesn't just spew out, "I'm curious how you feel about that".
She really encourages and challenges you to do the work to get better.
She's fabulous.
