Hi! My name is Gabriela, but you can call me Ella. You are not alone. Often in life, we feel alone or misunderstood. You are not alone in this experience, which may feel isolating and dark. Sitting in this experience can be scary and difficult to overcome. However, I believe therapy can help shine a light and make the darkness lighter. As a therapist, I would like to support and assist you in this journey of self-discovery and building the person you want to be. I support my clients in understanding what they need to re-establish and reconnect with themselves and others. My approach is based on post-modern approaches.

I help high-functioning individuals and teens who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck find clarity, confidence, and connection. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that leave them feeling drained or unsure of themselves. They’re often the ones others rely on—but inside, they’re silently struggling. I specialize in working with people who are ready to shift from survival mode to intentional living—and are seeking a therapist who truly gets the messy, beautiful complexity of being human.

Are you longing for a deeper sense of self and struggling to identify or voice your own needs? Falling back into old patterns of thinking or behaving that derails your relationships or trigger diminished feelings of self worth? Are you struggling to connect intimately with your partner and can't find the words to talk it about it without shame, blame or conflict? Do you struggle to feel connected to people in your life, feel isolated, or overly anxious? When trauma or past experiences are the building blocks of unhelpful core beliefs, it's time to get to know and decenter the parts of you that hold you back from being truly self-led
