"I need the sea because it teaches me." - Pablo Neruda

Gina is a licensed therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate grief, trauma, stress, anxiety, and burnout. With a deep commitment to healing, she integrates mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches to support her clients in finding resilience, clarity, and meaningful life changes.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Gina has always felt a profound connection to nature. Through her own experiences with the ocean and surfing, she discovered their incredible power to heal and build community. This passion led her to the world of surf therapy, where she became a trained surf therapist in 2021.

Gina’s work with Groundswell, a surf therapy non-profit, allowed her to witness firsthand the transformative impact of nature-based healing. Today, she continues to bring this philosophy into her private practice, offering beach walking sessions that invite clients to find support and reflection in nature.

She is excited to join the Waves of Grief Collective.
