Hi, I am Gabrielle, a licensed clinical social worker in New York State and Louisiana, here to help you reach your goals. I approach therapy from an empathetic, understanding perspective. You might be feeling overwhelmed and hopeless about things currently or maybe feeling the weight of world events. Perhaps you are feeling anxious and falling into negative patterns. Possibly lost someone close to you and are struggling to cope. Complex trauma is growing in our communities, lets talk about it! I am here to be a supporter, an encourager, and a safe space for you to grow.

You may understand that your past affects you today, yet still find yourself repeating patterns you desperately want to change.

Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
