Meet Gabrielle

I support individuals in high-demand roles, including healthcare workers, athletes, parents, and first responders, in managing stress, emotional exhaustion, and trauma. I specialize in helping mothers navigate postpartum and parenthood in a compassionate space where they feel heard and empowered. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR to build resilience, set healthy boundaries, and support healing from burnout and secondary trauma.

I take a whole person approach with an emphasis on the mind and body connection to mental health.
