Hi, I'm Gennesis and I'm excited you're here.

​

From a young age, I knew I wanted to work in the medical field. It wasn’t until I spent several years in college that I discovered where my true passion lies: supporting others through the ups and downs of their mental health journey.That realization lit a fire in me — and today, I’m honored to bring that passion to life at Hawk’s Nest Counseling.

​

Before joining the team, I spent seven years working at a therapeutic boarding school for teens in crisis — also located on a farm. That experience helped shape not only my clinical skills but also my appreciation for the healing power of nature, structure, and connection. During that time, I studied a range of counseling approaches and built a solid foundation for the work I do now.

​

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling from Thomas University and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in June 2024.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in real-life strategies that help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered.

​

Whether we’re talking in the therapy room or walking on the nature trail at Hawk’s Nest, I’m here to support you with honesty, warmth, and a deep belief in your ability to heal and grow.

​

When I’m not at the farm, you’ll find me in Gainesville, where I live with my husband and our two cats, Skittles and Ash. We’ve been married since 2016 and are excited to grow our family in the near future.
