Gigi is a great listener, kind and empathetic and always reminds me to treat myself the same. It isn't always easy to find a therapist that is trauma-informed and sees what's under the surface. Couldn't recommend more!

Gigi is a remarkable therapist with immense patience, understanding and empathy. I highly recommend her, as she's helped guide me in a better direction since first connecting with her a few months back. She's the best.

I've been seeing GiGi for about a year now. I have always been resistant to therapy, and was nervous to give it a try. But Gigi has been kind, understanding, and upfront with me while allowing me to talk through the things I need to, on my time. She has gently led me toward some really important realizations in this first year, and has helped me set up a system of living for myself that, so far, has worked very well for me. I would highly recommend Gigi if you are struggling with anxiety like I was, (or anything else.)

Gigi has helped me so much over the course of our sessions and I appreciate the way she has always created a comfortable and open environment for me to share my thoughts and feelings. I really appreciate an active style of therapy, and Gigi always asks me a lot of questions throughout our sessions to help guide me along the way.
