However, I have a total of 29 years experience working with adults and children in a variety of settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My treatment style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My office is a safe space where clients can be themselves. If you ask my students, they will say I am easy to talk to.

Gina is awesome, she listens and gives good advice, tries to understand the situation. She’s very easy to talk to. She’s even reached out to ask how things were going when I didn’t reschedule for awhile. Can’t wait to video chat her Tuesday :)
