As both a clinician and a human, Genevieve believes our past experiences shape how we move through the world — how we relate to others, how we protect ourselves, and how we understand our worth. She is especially passionate about helping clients reconnect with younger parts of themselves, honor their stories, and build new patterns rooted in emotional safety, self-trust, and compassion.

Genevieve believes the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, honoring each client as the expert in their own life. Rather than positioning herself as the authority, she sees herself as a supportive guide — walking alongside clients as they explore their stories, emotions, and inner worlds.

Her therapeutic style is relational, emotion-focused, and deeply human. She brings warmth, authenticity, and grounded presence into the therapy space, creating an environment where clients feel safe being real, vulnerable, and honest. She works gently but intentionally, helping clients build emotional awareness, resilience, and self-compassion, while also developing practical tools for daily life. With adolescents and young adults, Genevieve enjoys integrating clients’ interests, creativity, and personal passions into the therapeutic process, making therapy feel engaging, meaningful, and personalized rather than clinical or rigid.

Genevieve has experience supporting adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem and body image concerns, neurodivergence, identity exploration, trauma, and the lasting impact of early life experiences. She provides LGBTQ+ affirming care and is committed to culturally responsive, inclusive, and compassionate therapy that honors the whole person — not just the symptoms.

She also has a deep passion for working with athletes. As someone who values sports and understands the mental demands of athletic culture, Genevieve is especially attuned to the emotional pressure athletes face — including performance expectations, identity tied to achievement, and the unspoken rule of pushing emotions aside to stay strong. She creates space for athletes to process the emotional weight they often carry, helping them reconnect with the parts of themselves that deserve care, expression, and understanding beyond performance and productivity.

In her free time, Genevieve enjoys drives to the beach, spending time with friends, family, her cat (ivy), and her partner, and exploring Los Angeles in search of new spots to collect blind boxes. She loves going to concerts, including solo concert trips, and values experiences that create connection, joy, and meaning. Genevieve feels deeply honored to hold space for clients’ vulnerability and is excited to walk alongside them in their healing journey.
