Hello, my name is Gina and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and people pleasing embrace more peace in their lives. Together we can compassionately unpack the origins of patterns that aren't serving you and equip you with the skills needed to move forward in greater alignment with your values.
Talking about your feelings, thoughts, and experiences with anyone can be challenging, especially with a complete stranger. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and judgement free space for you to reflect and navigate through the various seasons of your life.
What is your approach to therapy?Whether you have specific goals or simply need a listening ear, I utilize a variety of approaches to assist clients in accomplishing their goals and navigating difficult situations. I use a holistic and collaborative approach, providing encouragement, accountability, and direct feedback to assist clients with their individual needs. Some of my areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal communication skills.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?I hope to use my training and experience to help you overcome obstacles, identify your strengths, manage stress, and learn helpful coping skills to propel you forward. Like many things in life, therapy can be uncomfortable and scary at first, but I'd be honored to walk with you and encourage you along this journey.
I am a therapist that welcomes all, humbly, and strives to build community with those I encounter. You are welcome here, however you may be.
I bring over two decades of professional experience to my work as a therapist, including roles as a preschool teacher, child and family therapist, special education provider, grief counselor, clinical supervisor, and nonprofit leader. Across all of these settings, my work has centered on supporting children, teens, families, educators, clinicians, and leaders through moments of growth, challenge, and transition. I have particular expertise in supporting clients navigating grief and loss, as well as individuals and families dealing with executive functioning challenges, ADHD-related struggles, parenting, and life overwhelm.
From time to time life throw’s challenging situations at us that can be very overwhelming. These challenges can most certainly feel impossible to overcome and hold us back from living life to our full potential. We all have amazing strengths that make us all unique. My mission is being the catalyst to encourage you to find your talents, abilities, and strengths that will serve you in coping with whatever difficulty life has given you. I am passionate about helping you live the life you desire!

I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from Metropolitan State University of Denver. In addition to my clinical work, I am an adjunct professor at the University of Denver, where I have the privilege of teaching and mentoring graduate-level social work students.
Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. My approach to providing therapy is to Keep. It. Simple.
I focus on the mind-body connection to help you understand why things feel the way they do, how our brain and body interpret certain feelings and experiences, and then what you can do to try to manage those feelings and make situations feel more comfortable and under control.
I specialize working with adolescents, but welcome all ages and genders. My main areas of clinical focus are in mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.
I often say “we” when talking to clients because I’ve lived through many of the circumstances they find themselves in . I know they need information to better understand what they are dealing with . Additionally , I believe they need empathy and patience as they move forward toward the best days of their lives .

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durango
Searching for therapists in Durango starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Durango therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Durango, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Colorado markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in Colorado. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading each profile closely can help you understand the therapist’s style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Durango can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
