About Ginger

Ginger aims to make starting therapy simple and practical so parents and busy adults can get real help fast.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens for the story a person tells about themselves and looks for small, usable shifts that ease day-to-day struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building tools that fit real life, not on jargon or long treatment lists. Ginger draws on Narrative Therapy to look at how personal stories shape feelings and choices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to strengthen values, acceptance, and self-compassion.
Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior ideas are used when concrete skills are helpful for mood, anxiety, and anger. She has worked with people dealing with trauma, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. Ginger pays attention to cultural context and aims to make therapy respectful and relevant to each person’s life.
Ginger offers flexible online formats including video, phone, chat, and messaging. She helps clients set practical goals and track small changes that add up to steadier routines, clearer decisions, and better daily functioning.

Narrative and Action-Focused Care Online
Ginger uses Narrative Therapy to help people see how the stories they tell shape feelings and choices; this approach can help with identity concerns, family of origin issues, and major life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based action that matters to them. She pairs these with Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Ginger will listen to what you want to change, try different methods, and tailor sessions to your needs and preferences. Together you’ll experiment with small changes, check what helps, and adjust the plan so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support quick check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help keep progress steady even when life gets crowded.
