Hi, I’m Gabrielle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide a supportive space where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what’s weighing on you—without judgment or pressure. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the world, navigating relationship stress, or trying to make sense of past experiences, I’m here to help you slow down, gain clarity, and build the tools needed to move forward with more confidence and balance.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding your story. I’ll ask questions about what has been going on in your life and what you hope to work on in therapy. We will also talk about your goals and what feeling better might look like for you. Most importantly, this session is about creating a comfortable and supportive space where you can start sharing at your own pace while we begin building a strong therapeutic relationship.
My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. Therapy with me is not about sitting silently while you talk into the void. I ask questions, offer feedback, help you connect patterns, and teach practical tools you can use between sessions. Sometimes we'll challenge unhelpful thoughts. Sometimes we'll focus on communication skills, boundaries, or emotional regulation. Sometimes we simply create space for emotions you've been carrying alone for far too long. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling understood, supported, and equipped with something useful—not just heard, but moving forward.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but exhausted on the inside. They are the helpers, caregivers, parents, professionals, oldest siblings, and people who are used to being the strong ones for everyone else. They often struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship stress, life transitions, self-doubt, or the feeling that they've lost themselves while taking care of everyone around them. I also have a passion for working with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, and stop repeating the same argument without feeling heard.

Relational
I use a relational approach to therapy, which means I focus on the patterns that show up in your relationships—with partners, family members, friends, and even the relationship you have with yourself. Our early experiences and past relationships often shape how we communicate, set boundaries, and respond to conflict or stress today. In therapy, we explore these patterns together in a supportive and non-judgmental space to help create change.
Psychoanalytic
I use psychoanalytic ideas to help clients understand how past experiences and early relationships may influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors today. In therapy, we explore patterns that may be showing up in your life or relationships so you can gain deeper self-awareness. This understanding can help you make more intentional choices and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection. In sessions, we focus on understanding each partner’s perspective, learning healthier ways to handle conflict, and building skills that support a stronger and more supportive relationship. This approach helps couples move away from patterns that cause disconnection and toward deeper understanding and teamwork.
