About Giovanna
Hi! I'm Gio, an associate therapist working with adult clients facing grief, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related distress, depression, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my work. I believe warmth and authenticity are fundamental to build trust. I want my clients to feel safe to be open and vulnerable, and fundamentally help them bring out their inner strengths.
I draw primarily from Humanistic and Relational approaches, while also incorporating evidence-based practices, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I don't believe there is one "right way", so I tailor our work to your needs, goals, and experiences.
My own background has deeply shaped how I understand people and relationships. I grew up in Brazil, lived in different parts of Central America, and eventually made my home in the Pacific Northwest. These experiences have given me a multicultural perspective that I bring into my work, and I am also proud to offer therapy in Spanish.
It is a privilege to be invited into someone's story, and I don't take that trust lightly. If what I've shared resonates with you, I'd be happy to connect and see whether we might be a good fit to work together.

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
