I specialize in supporting students who find the balance of social life, academics, and transitioning into adulthood to be challenging. Many of the students I work with experience social anxiety, struggles with self-confidence, or have ADHD. I also help students navigate the complexities of learning to live independently and building a fulfilling, self-directed life.
Hello my name is Gina. My experience is extensive in working with those experiencing depression, anxiety, postpartum, relational issues, stress & anger management, grief & loss, ADD, conflict with life direction & transitions. My approach is warm, empathetic and supportive. I am interactive and will give feedback, ask questions and also challenge you at times in areas to gain greater insight and growth. Asking for help can feel difficult, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to do it alone! I am here to help you navigate these areas, grow and heal. I attended NYU for my masters & EU for my bachelors. My training is in psychodynamic theory and my style reflects this by utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach. I also believe the therapeutic relationship can be an important part of healing. I think it’s important to understand why we do what we do but also provide practical tools to cope as well. Therapy can be an effective tool in the healing process and can help people gain insight and control over otherwise overwhelming circumstances. I believe in an approach which works at a pace that you determine and are comfortable with. I like to offer feedback and reflection and explore both the underlying emotions and roots to behaviors and feelings.
Adjusting to college can be a difficult transition. It can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. And I'm here to partner with you to make that transition easier.

You do not have to go through it alone. I look forward to working with you!

I am a warm, skilled clinician who works with young adults and adolescents. You may be in crisis or wishing you felt better. You'd like to figure out what's in the way and how to move forward.

My clients experience relief as a result of our work addressing stress, challenging transitions, and general feelings of being stuck. I provide highly attuned, effective psychotherapy. I am psychoanalytically trained but integrate practical interventions to improve your daily functioning. The effectiveness of my work with clients has to do with the importance I place on connecting with them, making them feel seen and understood. The therapeutic alliance is everything.

I offer a complementary twenty minute phone consultation, and I’d be happy to speak with you.
You are not satisfied with what’s happening (or not happening) in your bedroom. -Maybe you would like more sexual intimacy with your partner and every time you ask for it, it blows up in your face because they think all you want is just sex. -Maybe you are struggling with performance anxiety and you’ve been avoiding sex so you don't have to face the sense of failure or disappointment that comes with it. -Or Maybe your low libido is making sex feel like a chore or obligation and is keeping you from enjoying your sex life all together. Then, let’s get to work! I help motivated individuals and couples that have the desire to reclaim their sexual self and reignite the passion in their relationship, relax and be playful with each other again.

You are not broken — you are human. And being human means facing change, pressure, and uncertainty — things that can feel especially heavy during college. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, questioning who you are or what’s next, or trying to balance school, family, and your own expectations. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin again — with support and intention. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, understanding space where you can show up just as you are — no need to have it all together. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk beside you. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, reconnect you with your strengths, and find new ways forward that feel true to who you are. Every student’s story is different. That’s why I don’t believe in one “right” way to do therapy. Our work will be shaped by your needs, your culture, and your goals. Whether you’re coping with stress, adjusting to college life, dealing with family or relationship challenges, or trying to rediscover your sense of purpose, we’ll move at your pace. A big part of our work will be exploring three things: WHY – Why are you seeking change? PURPOSE – What gives your life meaning? PRIORITIES – What matters most to you right now? When we understand your why, purpose, and priorities, therapy becomes more than just talking — it becomes growth. Wherever you are in your process, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you as you find your way forward.
