About
Hello, I'm Gina.
I believe people are not broken. We adapt to what we have lived through, and sometimes those adaptations outlive their usefulness. My work is helping you set down what you no longer need to carry.
Who I am
A person first, a clinician second.
I came to this work because I believe the therapy room should be one of the few places where you do not have to perform being fine. You can arrive as you actually are: tired, guarded, skeptical that this will help. None of that will be too much.
I am an LCSW licensed in Colorado, and I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and the kind of overwhelm that does not have a tidy name. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions from Denver, Colorado.
Outside of session you will usually find me outdoors. The name of this practice is not decorative. I have watched enough things grow to trust that roots matter more than speed.
How I work
Collaborative, paced, and honest.
The work done in therapy depends on your ability to feel safe and seen, so that is where we start. Building trust is not a preliminary step before the real work begins. It is the foundation the rest of it stands on.
From there, this is collaborative throughout. We move at the pace that works for your nervous system, toward goals you choose, not ones I hand you. If something is not working, I would rather you tell me than quietly stop coming.
I am also happy to answer questions about any intervention before we try it. You are allowed to understand what is being done and why.
Training & modalities
What I bring into the room
Not a rigid protocol. These are tools I reach for depending on what a given day asks for.
- EMDR
- An eight phase, research backed protocol for processing trauma and adverse experiences.
- Internal Family Systems
- Working with the different parts of you, including the ones you would rather not admit to, with curiosity instead of judgment.
- Mindfulness practices
- Building the capacity to notice what is happening without being swept away by it.
- Polyvagal informed practices
- Understanding your nervous system as something that has been protecting you, and learning to work with it rather than against it.
