Here’s Why My Clients Love Me (and Why You Will Too!)

  • Dr. G. Is amazing. She is very understanding and easy to talk to, I feel very comfortable and am able to open up to her about my life and thoughts. Even when I don't feel like talking about anything because I've had a bad day or feel off about life, I find I still open up and let everything out. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist and would recommend her to everyone.

  • “Before Life is Better as a Couple, we were basically living like roommates with a side of arguing over who left the dishes in the sink. But Dr. G? She made everything so easy and fun! She didn’t just give us advice—she gave us real, actionable tools. Plus, her examples from her own life had us laughing and saying, 'We’re not the only ones!' Our communication is better, the passion’s back, and we now know how to tackle problems without turning them into a three-day fight. Highly recommend! Dr. G is like a relationship coach and your new best friend rolled into one."

  • We were a bit hesitant at first—could online coaching really make a difference? But Dr. G made everything so clear and easy to understand. Her approach was straightforward, yet warm and supportive, which made all the difference. We learned how to communicate better, address conflicts calmly, and reconnect in a meaningful way. The tools and insights we gained helped us move forward with more understanding and respect. If you’re looking for real change in your relationship, we highly recommend Life is Better as a Couple. It’s made a world of difference for us.”

    Sarah & Tim

  • "After years of toxic relationships and emotional abuse from my ex-boyfriend, I felt completely lost and drained. I didn’t know where to turn or if I could ever feel whole again. That’s when I found Healing the Hearts, and it completely changed my life. Dr. G’s program gave me the tools and support I needed to heal, set boundaries, and regain my confidence. It’s not an easy journey, but it’s absolutely worth it. I learned how to recognize red flags and build healthier relationships moving forward. With Dr. G’s guidance, I’m finally free from the past and feel empowered to create the future I deserve. Thank you, Dr. G!"
