Integrative Explorative Collaborative

You are the story of restoration

A Therapeutic Beginning

Integrative Mindful Psychotherapy requires you to become path-walkers, courageously taking an internal adventure into redefining yourself. As you give voice to the lost parts of yourself, you resume the quest of becoming a more embodied self. Questions naturally emerge, guiding your way through challenges into possibility. Inviting the intention to embody the possibilities deepens the discovery and the next stages of your expression. 

  • Who am I
  • What is my deepest potential
  • How am I growing

It’s a clarion call to awaken.

I’ve recently modified my psychotherapy services, and continue to offer psychotherapy via telehealth platforms, in the San Francisco Bay Area and across California.
If you have any questions, I’m happy to help.

Integrative Psychotherapy and Consultation

My integrative approach is grounded in establishing a warm, collaborative therapeutic relationship, where we discuss and explore your goals, and address your concerns.

Integrative Psychotherapy and Consultation are based on holistic psychotherapy principles of honoring the mind, body, and spirit connection, traditional talk therapy, and Mindfulness.

Mindfulness, or mindful inquiry, is simply noticing your embodied internal experience with curiosity and awareness. You make direct contact with the here-and-now, allowing for an expanded awareness for self study of core material.

If you are curious, or possibly uncertain what ‘mindful inquiry’ requires, I can assist you in the process of simply noticing what is, by gently guiding you to pay attention to your internal experience.

We can also discuss the possibility of including the EMDR model to further support your unfolding therapeutic process.

My Practice

How I guide your therapeutic experience

HAKOMI

Hakomi is an integrated mind/body/spirit depth psychotherapy, using experience-centered mindful inquiry and therapeutic methods. It is a guided and supported process for the mindful study of different categories of experience and core material. You open to being more deeply attuned, noticing what is alive in your awareness. The unfolding experiential process offers the possibility of inviting your inner wisdom to guide you into a sense of deeper knowing.

COUPLES

With each beginning, growth and self discovery are opportunities. Exploring couples therapy asks for present-moment relational work. It is about being present – to be compassionately truthful, as well as curious, about yourself, your partner and the relationship. It is a mutually co-created discovery process, using relationship principles to further support your relational needs. 

EMDR

When we are reminded of an upsetting experience, our brain and body respond as if it’s happening in the moment. EMDR aims to help reprocess these challenging experiences and how they are currently stored in the brain, assisting in softening and integrating the experience.

CONSULTATION

I provide consultation to licensed psychotherapists, who are exploring ways to personally and professionally expand in their fields. I also support Certified Hakomi practitioners and therapists, who wish to pursue ongoing self inquiry and their own experiential applications.

COACHING

If you’re interested in exploring your potential as a coaching client, I offer support and guidance based on integrated approaches, which recognize the embodiment of the whole Self and the meaningful interconnectedness of life.

Gina is a warm, creative and dedicated psychotherapist. She has an eclectic theoretical approach that is both playful and in-depth. As a fellow clinician, I have consulted with her on psychodynamic and somatic topics in client work. I highly recommend her to people seeking individual or couple’s therapy, and clinicians seeking consultation.

Gina has a warmth and presence that makes you feel seen, safe and cared for. She is very skilled, insightful and knowledgeable. I have been consulting with Gina for over 20 years. As a fellow psychotherapist, I appreciate her wisdom, compassion and sense of humor and would not hesitate to refer clients to her.

Gina has a kind loving presence about her. She is keenly attuned to the nuances of race, culture and developmental trauma, understanding and working with individuals, meeting them where they are. She is a valued colleague and someone to consult as an EMDR practitioner.

Gina is a rare gem in the world of psychotherapy. Having known her for over 13 years, I have witnessed her extraordinary ability to create a space of profound safety, healing, and transformation. She listens beyond words—attuning to both verbal and nonverbal communication, the silent language of the heart, and the unseen dimensions of the spirit. With deep empathy, spiritual insight, and clinical expertise, she offers more than just therapy—she offers a profound awakening. Those who work with Gina don’t just feel heard; they feel truly seen, understood, and supported on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Gina is a therapist of incredible depth and wisdom, a caring practitioner who has the ability to see the intricacies of complex situations without losing the heart of the matter. She brings creativity, soul, empathy, and skill to her work, making her a therapist who is capable of working with a wide range of issues.

My Approach & Principals

What you can expect from working together

MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness, or mindful inquiry, is simply noticing your embodied internal experience with curiosity, and awareness. You make direct contact with the here-and-now, allowing for an expanded perspective. 

INCLUSION & DIVERSITY

My practice is founded on the principles of belonging, inclusion and equity, valuing the esteem and natural expressions of all ethnicities, genders, orientations, and abilities, as well as being poly and kink friendly. 

CREATIVITY

The everyday simple acts of bringing something into the world awakens the mystery and value of piecing together the unexpected, the imperfect and the ordinary into what’s seeking expression. Creativity is elemental, naturally inspiring an attentiveness to know something differently and more deeply.  Being creative is a continuum of who you are.

An Inclusive Model of Psychotherapy

A CONSIDERATION

You may want to work with a psychotherapist who, as a person of color, has first hand knowledge of how the experiences of diversity contribute to, and become fundamental facets of one’s identity. You may want to experience diversity as an essential part of your personal and therapeutic exploration.

As a person of multi-cultural and multi-ethnic backgrounds, I value diversity, inclusion, equity and how these form and inform our lives. The intersections of race, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, and gender help to create our ever evolving personal identity. These can be stepping stones towards personal development and psychological growth, bridging the journey to a fuller self.

You may also not consider yourself a person of color, yet every person holds their cultural backgrounds as part of their identity. Each of us is a product of history, of our ancestry. We are complex, a continuum of what has come before, and what has not yet arrived.
