Availability: Currently accepting new clients through the waitlist only.
My name is Gabriella, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate their unique challenges and discover paths toward growth and healing. Being trauma-informed is central to my work, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where people can explore the impact of past experiences and move toward meaningful change.
My practice is informed by attachment patterns, trauma, and limerence, with a focus on understanding how early relationships shape emotions, communication styles, and sense of connection. Using a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, I draw from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and other evidence-based practices to support insight, heal attachment wounds, strengthen resilience, and develop healthy and secure ways of relating to self and others.
I deeply value BIPOC representation in the mental health field and ground my work in advocacy, compassion, and a strong commitment to de-stigmatizing mental health care. As a BIPOC therapist, I strive to offer a space where clients feel seen, validated, and supported in the fullness of their identity and lived experience.
Whether you are seeking clarity or support with your attachment style, relationships, trauma, or personal development, my goal is to provide an empathetic and collaborative environment where insight, healing, and meaningful change can happen.

About My Approach
My approach to therapy is to offer a space where you can feel heard, understood, and validated in exploring your unique journey. I believe in fostering an environment where trust and collaboration guide the process, ensuring the therapeutic relationship serves as a foundation for meaningful change. Together, we will identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and work toward creating a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.
Using a trauma-informed lens, I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to provide a holistic and personalized approach. I also integrate mindfulness practices to help connect the mind and body, fostering greater self-awareness and grounding.
Cultural responsiveness and social justice are fundamental to my practice. I strive to create an inclusive environment where diverse identities and experiences are respected and valued. Whether through dialogue, mindfulness techniques, or creative strategies, I aim to support you in your journey toward empowerment and resilience.
