Hi, I’m Gabriela and I’m so happy you are looking for support. I specialize in addressing issues of trauma, anxiety, and parenting challenges and have specific training in these areas to support you to lighten the heavy loads you no longer want to hold on to. If you have suffered a traumatic experience, gone through a series of challenging situations, struggled with managing your own thoughts, or are just feeling overwhelmed, you don't need to go through this alone. By searching for a counsellor, you are already taking an important step in improving your mental health and I can support you in continuing that journey.

I'm really glad you're here. Over the past 30 years I've supported a wide variety of people on their healing journey. Together, we have worked through issues around trauma (current, historic & generational) PTSD, addiction & recovery (including alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gaming, porn, shopping, relationships & gambling), sexuality & sexual orientation, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. I have also supported people who live differently-abled lives, including those living on the autism spectrum and with Downs Syndrome. Please check out my website &/or call/text/email, to get to know me better.

I find hope in what seems to be hopeless situations and clients trust that I can help without judgment. Listening to my clients' personal stories is both an honour and a privilege; feeling heard and understood is often their first significant step towards change. Mostly what I've found is that in my 30 years in the field of psychology and mental health, most of us can work through most of life's little challenges. When you have a challenge that you can't quite get past on your own - There's Counselling for That!

“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” - Esther Perel. I guide clients to reflect on the relationship they have with themselves and with others, while prioritizing connection and presence. Being heard and feeling heard can foster intimacy, however it can also feel vulnerable to self-disclose parts of the self which have been masked and hidden away.

Life gets challenging for all of us. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to find the right strategies for you to gain clarity, understanding and healing. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship problems or work-related issues, my goal is to help you gain greater strength and resiliency. I take an integrative and holistic approach that involves your mind, body and spirit. My perspective is culturally sensitive and trauma-informed. Using a combination of psychotherapy and body-based therapies, my hope is to bring positive change and balance to your life.

YOU CAN HEAL. I CAN HELP. Feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? Isolated? Does it seem like everyone around you is finding happiness while you silently struggle? Then it’s time to break free from negative patterns and into a life you love. And I can help. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, your childhood, or unresolved issues from the past, EMDR therapy, counselling, and life coaching are all powerful tools to help you face and overcome anything that's coming between you and the happiness you deserve.

Are you ready to process traumatic experiences and cross the bridge to a healthier you? Some of these experiences may be chronic pain, phobias, flashbacks, nightmares, obsessions, depression and anxiety. Decades ago, when I entered my therapist's office the first time, I was skeptical and nervous wondering how talking with a stranger would help me feel better. Surprisingly, I was able to understand the complexities of my issues and experience life in more meaningful ways. I am dedicated to help you break free from the experiences that are holding you back and develop resilience to live a fulfilling life.
