Not accepting new clients
No Longer Taking New Clients! My clients are high-performing professionals, students in high pressure programs of study, young adults in transition (e.g. career, relationships, marriage, family growth), and university students. They juggle a lot and thrive on the pursuit of life goals and engagement with others. A lot of my clients also struggle with past traumas. Maintaining balance, proactively investing in relationships, and managing anxiety and stress is important for my clients. They are results-oriented individuals who are achievement motivated.

Imagine a life without of the fear of failure, judgment, or the worry of not being good enough. How would that change things for you? Would you stop trying so hard to please others? Would you find the courage to take risks and venture into the unknown? Would you be less self-critical when things go wrong? Perhaps you'd finally leave an unfulfilling job or end an unhealthy relationship. Above all, would you be happier? I believe the answer is YES! Overcoming the fear of not being good enough is possible, no matter how long you've struggled. If you're ready to build a strong sense of self-worth, confidence, and inner peace, reach out!

Perhaps you - or you and your partner - are standing on a threshold, a doorway between the life you have known and the life ahead of you. You may feel disconnected from yourself, from what used to give your life meaning, from that spark that used to enliven your relationship. You are walking in the dark, overwhelmed by the unknown, maybe feeling depressed or anxious, or both. I am here to sit with you in that scary, and sometimes exciting space, to help you be attentive to your deepest needs, fears, and longings, to communicate clearly and gently, and to uncover the deep well of wisdom and love that lies within and between you.

Waitlist for new clients
The folks I work with often feel stuck while navigating anxiety, trauma, or self-discovery. They may struggle with self-doubt, fear, or past wounds that keep them from fully embracing who they are. Their goal is to break free from these patterns and develop self-love, clarity, and peace. They want to understand themselves deeply and learn to thrive in a way that feels authentic, but need guidance and support along the way.

I can help any person who has lost the thread of meaning in their life. A person who might even be asking themselves, What is the point of continuing on? There might be past traumas, depression and/or anxiety, perhaps harmful behaviors they can't seem to shake. There might be a great deal of fear. But ultimately, they need a fresh perspective on what it means for them to be alive, and to regain the sense that their choices matter.

Hi there, I’m Gabrielle! Managing the demands of life while dealing with private pain and suffering can be really tough. There can be a sense of ‘Where do I even begin?’ I would love the opportunity to begin right where you are.
