Gina is an LPC-Associate with a Master of Arts in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, accredited through the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). She is under the supervision of Julie Summers, MA, LPC-S. Gina has a BA in Studio Arts from the University of Pittsburgh and a background of 14 years of teaching in public, private, and homeschool education. She understands the courage and strength it takes to reach out to a counselor and firmly believes in providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for all individuals, regardless of background. She takes a collaborative approach with clients and hopes to be an avenue to help them achieve their goals.

Gina’s areas of passion include helping clients work through PTSD, abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, betrayal, divorce recovery, gender identity, racial injustice, and spiritual trauma. She loves witnessing clients reap the rewards of their hard work as they discover empowerment, autonomy, confidence, and true identity.

She is trained in EMDR therapy, an approach which targets maladaptive memory storage caused by trauma. EMDR therapy seeks to reprocess these memory networks, resulting in symptom relief, stabilization, and deep healing.

Gina is also an Integrative Enneagram (iEQ9) accredited practitioner who can coach clients using the enneagram as a tool for personal growth. Coaching sessions include an enneagram assessment, an individualized comprehensive report which covers core type, subtype, wings, triadic types, centers of intelligence, dimensions of stress and strain, and more.
