Meet Georgina

I treat challenges associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships, using individualized treatment approaches that include strength-based, client-centered, and eclectic methods. One thing I've learned in my 10+ years of experience is that one of the most important indicators of treatment success is the connection between client and therapist, and I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges to help untangle them. As a therapist, my goal is to support clients in their journey by implementing family-based, interpersonal, parent, and trauma-based treatments. I draw from my extensive experience using evidence-based practices to provide the best support for your needs.

I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in order to help untangle them.
