I am extremely passionate about mental wellness to achieve the best possible quality of life. I often see the correlation of neglecting mental health and the negative effects on ones self care and relationships with others. I have a diverse background in psychiatric mental health to treat acute and chronic concerns with a specialty with womens mental health. As a duel certified FNP and PMHNP, I value the importance of overall mind and body well-being.

I have a wide-ranging education background in counseling, receiving my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am experienced in helping with many concerns including, but not limited to; self concepts, mood disorders (anxiety, depression, etc), coping skills, effective communication skills, gender specific issues, family systems, body image, relapse prevention, chemical dependency, and anger management.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I'm Gina, a licensed Bilingual Queer Dominican-York counselor whose therapeutic work lies in supporting a diverse population of adults in building greater awareness and capacity to live with greater intention and lessen their suffering.

I’ve supported first-generation, queer, polyamorous, & immigrant adults in navigating addictive behaviors, traumatic experiences, attachment injury, and grief—experiences that can disrupt one’s ability to engage with life & relationships more fully.

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who received my master's from Florida International University and my undergrad from the University of Central Florida. I understand the discomfort that comes with signing up for therapy and trusting the process. I feel making sure the client feels comfortable and safe is the most important step.

My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of how you want to define yourself. This is achieved through providing a client-centered environment while creating a treatment plan to move you toward feeling more self-love. I utilize techniques from solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and narrative therapies to help you feel more comfortable and capable in your own skin.

My career began in 1997 as an AmeriCorps member working in harm reduction during the peak of new HIV infections. Since then, I've held many roles as a proud social worker.
