Hello! My name is Gabriella and I am a queer and multi-ethnic Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My work is centered on the belief that healing happens in community and that we each have the capacity to thrive when in supportive and uplifting environments. I am a trauma-focused therapist, meaning that I aim to acknowledge and explore the ways that traumatic experiences have impacted my clients, all while focusing on the strengths, wisdom and resources each client possesses.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, a client can expect for me to introduce myself, my role and provide psycho-education on the therapeutic process. I will be assessing various aspects of your life (mainly in area of family upbringing, history with therapy, medical/medication and culture). We will discuss what your goals are for therapy and what you hope to "get out of therapy."

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe in the power of generational strength, wisdom and guidance. I am passionate about supporting others in the healing the wounds of intergenerational trauma caused by racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia and colonial exploitation.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with people who are passionate about their healing process and need someone with an empathetic, warm and non-judgmental approach. I find that I work best with people who are open to somatic healing methods (such as EMDR, EFT and mindfulness) and are BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, highly sensitive and/or survivors of childhood trauma.
