You don't need someone to take sides.
You need someone who can see what's happening between you.

Hi there, I'm Ginger.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist, Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA-F), Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Master Practitioner, author, and educator. More than anything, though, I'm a fellow human being who believes people are remarkably resilient.

My work integrates Modern Analytic Therapy and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). Modern Analytic Therapy helps uncover the unconscious patterns that keep us repeating painful stories, while RLT combines therapy, coaching, and practical skills to help couples quickly identify what's not working and reconnect through honesty, accountability, and mutual respect.

I don't believe people are broken. I believe we all develop ways of surviving that eventually stop serving us. Therapy offers the opportunity to replace those old adaptations with healthier, more authentic ways of living, loving, and connecting.

You don't want to wait the many months it might take to get there through traditional weekly therapy.

→ You've been hurting for a while

Your relationship needs attention now, and you need results yesterday.

→ You need clarity fast

You're trying to determine whether this is the right relationship to move forward with.

→ You're stuck in ambivalence

This is NOT for someone looking for a quick fix.

A Weekend Intensive is not a magic reset button.

It is concentrated, demanding work.

You will be asked to look honestly at yourself, your relationship, and the patterns you've both participated in.

The goal isn't to promise that everything will be fixed in one weekend.

The goal is to create movement where you've been stuck.

We’ve already got our money’s worth!

— C.G., Weekend Intensive Participant two hours into the weekend

I came to the weekend reluctantly—truthfully, I was dragged there and did not want to attend. At the time, my wife was 98% out of the marriage and ready to divorce. Despite my resistance, the experience proved invaluable. The weekend gave me a much deeper understanding of both our marital dynamics and my own areas for growth. While some of the feedback was difficult to hear, it was delivered in a balanced, thoughtful manner. I never felt that sides were being taken; instead, both of us were challenged and encouraged to better understand ourselves and each other. The insights and framework provided me with a great deal to reflect on and motivated me to continue my personal work. I am grateful for the honesty, guidance, and care throughout the process. It was a meaningful and transformative experience.
