I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility for the individuals and families I work with. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s unique journey. I believe that healing looks different for everyone, which is why I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. Depending on what feels most helpful, sessions may include evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps address and reframe negative thinking patterns, or mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and a greater sense of presence and peace. I also incorporate a variety of practical tools and interventions designed to deepen insight, encourage personal growth, and promote lasting change. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges. I have particular experience supporting clients who have endured complex trauma, including survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, incest, and those navigating the emotional toll of serious illness. I also frequently work with individuals struggling with anxiety, marital or relationship concerns, acculturation issues, and life transitions that bring about adjustment difficulties. At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Sobre mi modo de trabajo Me gusta pensar cada encuentro como un espacio vivo, en donde quien consulta puede detenerse a mirar, a poner en palabras lo que muchas veces se manifiesta de otros modos: en el cuerpo, en los vínculos, en lo que se repite sin que sepamos bien por qué. Mi rol es activo: acompaño, señalo, hago preguntas. A veces, lo que aparece en una frase, en un gesto o en una duda, abre una puerta. El trabajo consiste en animarse a atravesarla. ¿Y cuándo es buen momento para consultar? No siempre es fácil saberlo. Pero a veces, el cuerpo o el ánimo lo dicen antes que nosotros. Algunos indicios pueden ser: • Tristeza que se prolonga en el tiempo • Cambios de humor repentinos o irritabilidad • Dolores o malestares físicos sin causa médica clara • Ansiedad o sensación de estar sobrepasado • Dificultades para afrontar lo cotidiano • Pensamientos que se repiten y no dan tregua • Falta de ganas o desinterés por lo que antes generaba placer • Problemas en los vínculos que se vuelven frecuentes o difíciles de manejar Cada proceso es único. A veces alcanza con hacer lugar a una pregunta para que algo comience a moverse.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted.

I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing.

This identity crisis shows up in subtle ways - the anxiety that greets you before meetings, the exhaustion from maintaining the "strong Black woman" image, the longing for relationships where you can finally be real. I want you to know that transformation is possible. That having more alignment and authenticity in the way you show up is possible. In our work together, we'll move beyond just understanding why you code-switch or people-please and help your system find its way back to your truth using Internal Family Systems therapy. Imagine walking into any room fully grounded in who you are. Picture making decisions from your core self, not from old wounds. It's time to transform your relationship with yourself - to heal those outdated identities and create a life that truly feels like yours.

THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE — INCLUDING THERAPISTS Your calendar is jam-packed. You’re juggling a never-ending checklist, responsibilities, and expectations— wearing multiple hats as a business professional, wife, mother, daughter, and caregiver. You’re balancing work, home, and the changes of midlife that no one really warned you about. Lately, it all feels heavier — and you’re starting to feel it emotionally and physically. YOU’RE THE ONE OTHERS RELY ON — at work, at home, and in every role you hold. But beneath it all, you may be feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Therapy at Seaside is a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the version of you that isn’t running on empty. HI, I’M GAIL — THERAPIST & OWNER OF SEASIDE MENTAL WELLNESS.
