How do I Know Which Therapist is Right for me?

When choosing a therapist, you may find that aligning your values for therapy to your therapist's approach can be beneficial. Another thing that can help you choose your therapist is by matching the therapist's specialty areas with your needs. At Growing Within Therapy, you can request a 15-minute complimentary phone call where you and your therapist can have an introduction and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. It is important to remember that when choosing a therapist, you don't have to stay with them forever. After a few sessions, if you do not feel like you are connecting well or getting what you want out of therapy, talk with your therapist to see how they can accommodate your needs for therapy.

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself"

Hi, I'm Gina.

I believe that most people aren't struggling because something is "wrong" with them. More often, they're carrying the weight of stress, past experiences, relationship patterns, or a nervous system that has been working hard to protect them.

Whether you're navigating the challenges of parenting, feeling stuck in recurring relationship patterns, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, and move toward lasting change.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I work with adults, couples, and parents using a compassionate, attachment-based approach that is grounded in nervous system awareness. Together, we'll look beyond behaviors or symptoms and explore what they're communicating. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with me?" or "What's wrong with my child?" we'll begin asking, "What happened?" and "What does this person need right now?"

I have a special passion for working with parents because I know firsthand that parenting can be one of life's greatest joys—and one of its greatest challenges. Many parents come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or carrying guilt that they're somehow getting it wrong. My goal is to help parents understand their children's behavior through a different lens while also learning to care for their own nervous system. When parents feel more supported and connected to themselves, they are often better able to respond to their children with confidence, calm, and compassion.

I also enjoy working with adults who find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Together, we'll explore how early experiences may still be influencing the present while building healthier ways of coping, connecting, and moving forward.

I strive to create a therapy space where clients feel genuinely heard—not judged or rushed. My hope is that you leave sessions with greater insight, practical tools you can use in everyday life, and the confidence that meaningful change is possible.

Healing doesn't happen through perfection. It happens through understanding, connection, and small moments of growth repeated over time.

I'd be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

You are worthy of support, growth, and meaningful connection.
