Client testimonials 〰️

“Out of the therapists that I’ve had, Gabriella is the therapist I feel most comfortable talking to. As a person with anxiety, I can feel quite anxious about telling my therapist certain things, or feeling as though as my feelings are being understood, and Gaby has made our sessions feel safe by working with me to explore my thoughts and feelings and where they may be coming from. I feel that in our sessions, I’ve come to learn a great deal about my patterns, where they came from, and how to begin unlearning them, and I know that she will be there to support that process.”
“Therapy with Gaby makes me feel safe and seen. She is calm and supportive, yet also challenging, all in a kind way. EMDR in particular intrigued me for the longest and it is even better than I thought it would be. ”
“My time with Gaby has helped me immensely in my healing journey. I have made so much growth from when I first started”
