About Gina
I am an experienced registered nurse, behavioral coach, and certified case manager with excellent client management skills. I recently acquired my PMHNP-BC for medication management and psychotherapy. With 34 years of registered nursing experience serving clients with medical and behavioral diagnoses, I am both a good listener and an action-oriented clinician. Over the past ten years of my nursing career, I have built strong telephonic nursing skills, developing a strong ability to communicate effectively with clients to find gaps in care and resolve those gaps with education and referrals.
I am a customer-service-focused clinician. Clients can expect a warm welcome, a thorough initial assessment, and a summary of findings with treatment recommendations. I have strong listening skills, empathy, and solid assessment skills, and I am diligent in finding the right treatment for each client.
I can provide the most benefit to clients who are open to exploring themselves in an honest manner. I am only accepting adults 14 and older at this time.

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
As a behavioral couch, i wanted to provide more value to my clients with medication management if needed.
What types of clients do you work best with?
Late teens-adults.

Mental health requires a multimodal approach so that it may be medication along with therapy other lifestyle enhancers.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
They can expect to be heard and a collaborative approach as we work together.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
My practice is guided by the belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, regardless of their diagnosis, background, or life experiences. Throughout my career in nursing and psychiatric mental health, I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, serious mental illness, and life transitions. These experiences have reinforced the importance of meeting patients where they are, listening without judgment, and partnering with them to develop realistic, individualized treatment plans.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I value evidence-based care while recognizing that effective treatment must also consider each person's culture, values, strengths, support system, and personal goals. I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and empowered to participate in decisions about their care. My approach emphasizes recovery, resilience, and practical strategies that help patients improve their functioning and overall quality of life.
