Hi there! My name is Gina, and I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I have 6+ years of experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns, helping them build greater self-esteem and discover their authentic sense of self-worth.

I support clients who want to better understand attachment patterns, communication difficulties, and recurring relationship dynamics, as well as individuals coping with chronic illness, pain, disability, cancer-related concerns, and questions of meaning and life purpose.

I received my Masters in Social Welfare and Pupil Personnel Services Credential from UCLA and my undergraduate degree in English Literature at UCSD. I have worked for 15 years in community mental health and in the school setting. I'm a seasoned professional who has walked alongside my clients to make sense of trauma, loss and the impacts of depression and anxiety. Seeing my clients make peace, set boundaries and be able to communicate their needs with themselves and others brings me great joy and satisfaction in my practice.

In my studies at Antioch, I have specialized in Spiritual and Depth Psychology with CBT, DBT, Humanistic-Existential, Client-Centered, Gestalt Theories, Mindfulness, and based on my past experiences have developed a passion for working with a variety of diverse population from 12 years old children and their families to elder adults. I also took courses on World Religions and Women Role in Religion at CSUN, studied in Rabbinical School (AISH Ha’Torah) in Jerusalem, with Buddhist Guru in Nepal and a Hindu Guru in India with knowledge of Vedic (Vedantic), Hindu, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Tradition.

For over 15 years being on spiritual path and self-discovery journey, I became a Spiritual Guide, Reiki Master, and a Minister. Lead Spiritual Retreats and trainings around the world, including, India, Nepal, Tibet, Russia, Ukraine. This experience prepared me to work with people from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures.

Worked with a vast variety of symptoms and problems providing needed support to my clients suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem. All of these issues and symptoms have a point to make for us to understand our selves better. Working with adolescents in Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Youth Living Programs, adult and veterans of all ages, there is one common denominator - if you want your life to be better, we can find your individual path and you might become your own Master. We'll apply, or challenge, your believe system, to make positive changes.

I help my clients resolve their problems, learn coping skills, and set their spiritual and/or religious path. Increasing client's understanding of self and accepting life with all the pluses and minuses, learning from the past without the judgment might be a difficult goal to achieve.
