Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Gabriela, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have worked with various population from inmates in the prison system to children in the foster care to adults. I specialize in working with people with depression, trauma, crisis, anxiety, life changes and relationship problems.

My approach to therapy

I use a psychodynamic approach that will help us get to the root of the cause, and a holistic approach in therapy. It is important for me to get to know you, in order to do the deep work, however, I go at your pace. I will guide you and encourage you along your healing journey.

What you can expect from me

My clients often inform me that they enjoy the therapeutic alliance we form. I enjoy getting to know you and gently pointing out any patterns I notice. My clients enjoy the open communication we share. Providing a safe space for you is important in order for you to share your needs and expectations. I check in with you every few months to see your progress to either revise or update your goals.
