- I feel so lucky to have met Gwen. EMDR was highly recommended to me by several people before I tried it and I’m so glad I finally did. From the first session I could tell Gwen was going to be incredible. I have been in therapy all of my adult life but Gwen connected things for me that no one else has. Since working with Gwen I have done a 180 with my thoughts and feel lighter and happier.

I found Gwen during a time I was seeking strength and clarity for myself. I began having panic on flights after a bad experience, exacerbated by childhood trauma. It caused me to opt out of travel for close to two years. Gwen provided a blanket of warmth and wisdom to help me deeply understand and connect with myself. EMDR, exposure therapy, and her warm coaching taught me how to learn to self-soothe old fears/voices, embrace everything with acceptance, and come into my body / the present. I was able to book a trip after my sessions – and actually learned to enjoy the experience while flying. I cannot recommend her expertise enough. THANK YOU Gwen, for enabling me to open new doors!Daisy
Gwen is AMAZING. She is there for you through all of it, during and in between sessions, she is invested and passionate. I also particularly love how knowledgeable she is of all new techniques and modalities coming up. She always sends me links to new podcasts, books, etc that relate to my healing. Even nutritional books and apps. If you’re into polyvagal theory shes a great fit. She is very empowering. I love her and highly recommend her.Andrea
- Gwen is more than just a therapist, she is really invested in your life. She listens and remembers the tiniest details that come into play months later – it is hard to believe that she has any other patients other than me! She introduced me to EMDR which was a game changer. I’ve seen her off and on over the years – both with my wife or by myself – and feel comfortable to send her an email every so often just checking in. She was truly made for this profession and I left her office always feeling a sense of gratitude and a new perspective. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!

I cannot recommend Gwen highly enough. Over the past two years, she as been a pivotal part of my journey toward healing and self-discovery. her warmth, empathy, and genuine commitment to helping me uncover and address deeply rooted challenges have made all the difference.
Gwen has an incredible ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where I feel truly heard and understood. She balances compassion with insightful, practical guidance, always equipping me with tools to navigate life’s complexities. Whether it’s untangling past traumas, developing healthier thought patterns, or finding new ways to manage stress, her expertise and approach have been life-changing.Adam K.Working with Gwen was an enormous help to me—starting a few years ago, when she helped me to find a treatment approach that helped me out of a period of real crisis. She then offered witness and counsel as I worked to see myself, my relationships, and my career clearly. I’m meaningfully more functional, creative, and secure as a result of therapy with Gwen.Michael
- Gwen is truly incredible. She is smart, kind, patient, and has helped me with years of trauma that I haven’t been able to work through before. Her work goes further than therapy; always checking in on her patients, referring them to other doctors when necessary, and sending helpful videos and podcasts that are curated to her patients. Can’t say enough good things.

Gwen is simply the best and a life saver! I began working with Gwen nearly two years ago as I was going through a divorce and at a personal low point. She helped me navigate a chaotic time, new relationships, work drama and everything in between. Through our work, she provided me with great perspective and challenged me to confront areas of my life that I had been ignoring for decades. I can confidently say that I feel much more equipped to take on anything thanks to Gwen. The best thing about Gwen is she genuinely cares about her clients – she is naturally empathetic, kind and thoughtful. I can’t recommend her enough.Daniel
I started seeing Gwen at a point in my life where I absolutely needed to make a change to my anxiety in order to make my romantic relationship, and really my life, viable. Within just a few months of seeing Gwen, including for EMDR, there was a massive step-change in the way that I related to my anxiety, my anxiety triggers, and my relationship. Both me and my fiance were shocked that that big of a change was even possible in such a short period of time, but it did happen. Gwen was exactly what I needed from a therapist - direct, no BS, cuts to the core of all my rumination/intellectualization, an active participant in the therapy dialogue, and somehow manages to feel like a best friend. Meeting her, I finally found the therapist I had long sought. As someone who doesn't always feel support from family, it has felt so nice to have Gwen in my corner. Really recommend.Marina M. - Working with Gwen has changed my life. It’s been almost two years now and looking back at where we started and where my life and has gone since then. Not only is she an experienced professional, she is also patient, genuine, and caring. Give yourself a chance!

During a very hard time in my life, coping with CPTSD, I am so thankful for finding Gwen. She is a very caring and honest person who has helped me to open up and be true to myself. Gwen genuinely listens and helps to strategize ways in which to help her patients. Her guidance and ability to help with coping mechanisms for certain situations has helped me tremendously. As a Veteran who suffers from multiple traumas, EMDR therapy has allowed me to face my past and Gwen’s kind and caring ways, guided me through. She is very easy to talk to and I highly recommend her as a therapist.Joel
Gwen is incredible! She helped me tremendously recovering from a traumatic event and with my flying anxiety. This is the exact text I sent after the first flight after our EMDR sessions for my flying anxiety “I just landed! Great flight and I was really not nervous once!! I didn’t even play meditation music when we took off and I was unfazed during bad turbulence and a bumpy landing. I could cry of joy if this is my new way of flying!!” I think that says it all. Thank you to Gwen!Lindsey
My experience with Gwen is clearly a miracle. She is my hero. She has been with me though out my toughest live changing moments. I am grateful to her for all her advice, compassion, most of all her patience.
My session is mainly on Thursday once we hang up the phone. I feel refreshed, energized, and full of confidence to face all life's challenges. I can't wait for Thursday to come again to have our session. I consider myself blessed to have Gwen on my side.Nelson B. - GG is a standout individual whom I greatly admire.
