Often my clients benefit from work on emotion regulation, interpersonal, mindfulness, and motivational skills.
Sometimes life feels heavy. Trouble at work, problems in your relationships, the isolation of this day and age. Maybe you had a difficult childhood that you can't seem to break away from. It can all feel like too much sometimes, bringing up intense feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness, and grief. If any of this sounds familiar, I can definitely help. I work with adults and couples struggling with intense emotions. My clients often want to understand how their past experiences and traumas have impacted their current difficulties. They also want to learn how to create a more peaceful and enthusiastic life for themselves.

I find Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy to be very effective for most clients but I want to tailor my treatment to the needs of the client.
Change is possible. Just because you've done the same thing over and over, doesn't mean today can't be different. Most of us know what change that we'd like to make. However, our instincts are to cling to what gets us through the day and avoid meaningful change. The good news is that we can learn to act effectively to welcome change instead of push it away. At times, we need help to face the places where we need to improve. Positive change does not happen overnight. My goal is to find what what works. I focus on evidence-based and practical strategies to help my clients improve their lives and emotional well-being.

I draw from mindfulness, sensorimotor and CBT in my work.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Many times, we feel like we should be able to just "pull through" but can never seem to truly feel better. I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, severe trauma, and lbgtq clients. I will honor your courage to ask for help. Clients that I have worked with in the past have stated that I am warm, easy to talk to, and provide a sense of safety where they can feel free to process thoughts/emotions free from judgement.

I use psychodynamic psychotherapy with a CBT and mindfulness implementation.
Finding a good therapist changed my life. Since becoming a psychotherapist in 2010, my goal has been to help my clients heal as they do the essential and difficult work of being human. I love psychotherapy and my clients can feel that. We meet inside my home office which has a private entrance. It's how psychotherapists treated patients back in the day and I have found the set up to be efficient at building rapport and safety. I really like myself and you can really like yourself too.

I tailor my approach to each individual client, using therapies like EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness-based CBT to stimulate the brain and body’s natural healing processes.
Hi there, I’m Gabrielle! Managing the demands of life while dealing with private pain and suffering can be really tough. There may be a sense of ‘Where do I even begin?’ I would love the opportunity to begin right where you are. You may find me appropriate if you are seeking emotional resilience, self-acceptance, or harmony in your relationships. My primary area of focus is with adults and couples impacted by life transitions, trauma, grief, or addiction.

Sessions can take the form of traditional talk therapy but may also include the use of Mindfulness techniques, Sandtray Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, expressive therapies, play, attachment and art therapy, guided meditations and nutritional guidance.
I believe that people have an innate ability to heal and that successful therapy depends on tailoring sessions to be in alignment with your unique circumstances.

I use a blended approach to counseling, utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness based practices and EMDR.
You’re searching for something, or someone to connect with, right? That’s why you’re here. Finding a therapist can be a very difficult task, especially if you are not feeling your best. You have found the courage to take the first and second steps, which is saying “I need some help and I need to find a therapist.” You are the expert on you, so you know the choices you have made and the consequences, good and bad, that come along with them. Fixating and ruminating on those choices and consequences can lead you to use unhealthy coping mechanisms, leading to you feeling trapped by old habits.
