Seeking therapy can feel daunting. Even when we know something has to change, it can feel more comfortable to stick with old habits. Clients are often surprised when I say - we keep "bad" habits for good reasons. We develop patterns to feel safe when we lack internal or outside supports to help us feel grounded, connected, accomplished, or hopeful. I support clients to increase their awareness of their own patterns, perceptions, reactions, learned behaviors, and true desires, so they have more choice in how they respond to people and situations and can take steps to build better relationships and more fulfilling lives.

I believe that the most effective and lasting changes take place with a strong and supportive client-therapist relationship. I strive to create a comfortable and safe space where my clients can look inward and find their greatest strengths in order to overcome underlying causes and unhealthy patterns that have potentially held them back in the past. Although treatment is not one size fits all, empathy and acceptance are both key elements in allowing you to start making positive changes. My goal is to help you take the necessary steps to live a fulfilled life.

As a mental health crisis responder with 10+ years of direct experience, my technique is honed to quickly build a functional dynamic and work collaboratively to dial into the core problem. Results driven; I believe every minute of our time counts, so you can expect a style that is direct, concise, gimmick-free, and with no frills to interfere with the authenticity of our exchange. While I am trained and certified in several evidence-based practices, it is ultimately my job to support your path to self-mastery by asking the right questions and deferring to you as the expert on the situation, your life, and your choices.

Hi, I’m Gabriela, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps teens and adults untangle the messiness of depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and others. Therapy with me isn’t about sitting in silence or pretending everything’s fine — it’s about being real, sometimes laughing through the chaos, and learning new ways to handle life when it feels like “too much." I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, MBSR, and Motivational Interviewing (basically, a mix of science, mindfulness, and genuine human connection). I tailor each session to you — no cookie-cutter therapy here.
