Great to meet you!

Hey there—I’m Gina, a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) with over 12 years of experience walking alongside folks on their journey through addiction and recovery. I’ve got a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked everywhere from inpatient units to outpatient programs and all the intense stuff in between.

My approach? Down-to-earth, open-minded, a little bit of humor, and a whole lot of heart. I believe healing happens when we can be real—messy, honest, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. You bring your truth, I’ll bring a safe space, good vibes, and the tools to help you build a life that actually feels good to live in.

This path doesn’t have to be walked alone. I’ve got your back.

My approach to therapy

I'm willing to meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey, whether they are seeking early intervention, ongoing support, or relapse prevention. In our work together, I use proven approaches like Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and relapse prevention to support your recovery. We’ll set goals that make sense for you and focus on building tools that help you stay on track. If you're part of a 12-step or peer support program, I can help you connect what we do in therapy with your work in the recovery community.

What you can expect from me

Wherever you are on your recovery path—just starting out, needing some steady support, or working to stay grounded after a setback—I’ll meet you there, no judgment, no pressure.

In our work together, I draw from tried-and-true methods like Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and relapse prevention—but I always keep it real and tailor our work to you. We’ll set goals that actually make sense in your life and build tools that help you stay aligned with the version of yourself you're working toward.

If you’re involved in a 12-step or peer support program, awesome—I’m all about weaving therapy into that so it feels like one supportive journey, not two separate things.

You set the pace. I’ll bring the guidance, good energy, and a few deep breaths when things get tough.
