"Positive growth through change."

Sometimes in this journey of life we get stuck, face difficult transitions, or get stressed out. At these times, we often feel alone, helpless, or afraid. Working with an experienced, caring, empathic professional who will actively listen in a safe and private setting can help us move forward.

My approach to therapy is caring, thoughtful, and compassionate. My goal is to provide you and your family with quality, professional, compassionate care that will instill a sense of hope, enable you to move forward and attain your goals and dreams. I believe personal growth and positive change come from developing an understanding of ourselves, thoughts, and feelings while making more productive choices.		 Gina Zirpoli, San Diego Psychologist

I have found that certain approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can be quite useful in helping children, teens, and adults. CBT is a practical, here and now, problem-solving approach to coping with life’s challenges. I value the trust you put in me to help you reach your goals, improve self-esteem, achieve personal growth, develop more satisfying relationships, and live your life to its fullest potential.

I have over fifteen years of experience providing psychotherapy services for clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of issues. I have worked in schools, hospitals, and outpatient settings.

My approach can help you and your loved ones:
Improve their self-esteem and self-confidence
Enhance your relationships
Increase productivity at work, school, and in life
Overcome grief and loss
Worry less, live more in the moment
Feel happier
Develop better problem-solving and coping skills
Manage and tolerate difficult feelings
Gain self-acceptance
