With many years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I specialize in guiding clients toward greater peace, balance, and purpose. I offer a safe, compassionate space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can unfold. My approach empowers individuals to overcome life’s challenges, reframe limiting patterns, and cultivate emotional resilience, self-awareness, and lasting, meaningful personal growth through intentional reflection and action.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I’ll take time to understand your story, background, and goals so we can develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs. This session is about building trust, clarifying your priorities, and ensuring you feel heard, supported, and confident as we begin your journey toward healing and growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths lie in combining evidence-based approaches with a holistic, person-centered style that honors the mind-body connection. I draw from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients gain practical tools for emotional regulation and self-awareness. I also integrate compassion-focused and strengths-based techniques that empower clients to build resilience, self-acceptance, and lasting positive change in their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My ideal clients include adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, as well as parents seeking support with behavioral or emotional concerns in their children. I also enjoy working with professionals who are striving for work-life balance and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we will focus on building emotional resilience, self-compassion, and clarity to help you live your best life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I implement CBT to address maladaptive thought and behavior patterns through structured interventions, psychoeducation, and skill development. This approach supports emotional regulation, problem-solving, and measurable progress toward treatment goals.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I apply a person-centered therapeutic framework emphasizing unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. This evidence-based approach promotes client autonomy, self-awareness, and engagement in the therapeutic process.

Family Therapy

I use systemic and structural family therapy models to address relational dynamics, improve communication, and resolve interpersonal conflicts. The goal is to enhance family functioning and strengthen support systems that contribute to individual and collective well-being.

Although it has only been 2 sessions Giselle has hit the nail on the head and brought us together. She listens and gives feedback to help improve our relationship. I am happy with the results so far. I look forward to our next session. We were ready to break up but I finally see hope in our relationship and for our future.

I like knowing what I say won’t be used against me in terms of my prescriptions. I value how you make me feel like I can trust you, trust is something I don’t do much anymore, socially I got 0 but in therapy I can just talk. Definitely hold you in high regards because your ability to discuss situations and feelings is very important to me.
