Hi! I'm Gianna

When you work with me, you're getting a therapist who listens deeply and responds honestly. I won't just sit back and nod—I'll help you notice patterns, offer insight and education, and stay alongside you in this journey. You won't be judged, but you may be challenged at times in order to help you grow.

While I am a therapist, only you know yourself best. I work to decolonize our sessions, making our meetings as inclusive and equitable as possible. I'll admit what I don't know, and encourage your feedback along the way.

Therapy with me isn't stuffy or formal. It's real, supportive, and sometimes playful. Sure, sometimes I say, “And how does that make you feel?” but we'll probably both laugh. I’m a therapist because I’ve lived through a lot of the mess myself, and the ability to be with you in yours is both an honor and a privilege.

My approach in therapy—and, well, life—is empowering, authentic, and dynamic. I use a combination of parts work, mindfulness, DBT techniques, CBT techniques, motivational interviewing, and somatic techniques. This means I’ll be laid-back and conversational, while also getting to know each aspect of you, giving you tools and resources, connecting you to your body, and helping you gain clarity.

I am a HAES (health at every size)-aligned, fat positive, sex positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician. I value and respect the varied cultural, spiritual, and relational identities one might encompass.

I highly value the mind-body connection, and the understanding that our mental health is shaped by the environments and oppressive systems around us. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, engaging, strengths-based, and I want you to walk away from your sessions with something useful to you. I may give you resources to explore outside of your session, including reading material, apps, and coping skills.
