Welcome! 

Sometimes when we're nervous, we allow ourselves to think of the worst possible scenario. Maybe you don't like change, maybe it's scary to think about the unknown, or maybe it's just first-day jitters. Totally normal and we will work through this! 

Check out the "About > Gianna" to learn more about me before we meet!  

You Can Do This!

Sometimes it can feel like you are alone in your issues, but you are not. Everyone deals with things differently, and that is what counseling can help with.

Learning to set and positively achieve goals is possible. Overcoming challenges is a difficult part of life, and I am here to help you!

Maybe you are asking yourself how therapy will help if you can't even think about the issues, or be in the same room as the people you are fighting with, or feel like you are being consumed by everything around you. 

Maybe you have tried some solutions and feel like "nothing works". In sessions, we will try different tools that are specific to you so working through all of this feels less heavy. 

I work with life change and family issues, specializing in: 

- Family of Origin: creating and enforcing boundaries to lessen anxiety and improve relationships with family members or unhealthy relationships

- Working with partner relationships & families to better everyone's communication & patterns, especially from an intersectional feminist lens, looking at gendered components in relationships

- Adult Children of Narcissistic Caregivers/Parents: working on boundaries and self love— you are enough!

-Weight stigma trauma of bigger & fat bodies

- Assertiveness issues: appropriately standing up for yourself in all relationships, personal and professional, to become more confident and empowered 

- Co-Parenting after separation or divorce: working effectively and cooperatively with your ex to help your kids

- Life transitions (high school to college... college to "adulting"... job changes... moving... retirement... finding new friends & hobbies... etc…) & issues that come with this (self esteem, boundaries, assertiveness, conflict resolution, academic perfection, sexism, etc.)
