My role as a therapist is to encourage, support and challenge my clients in discovering ways to improve their life. In a collaborative effort with each individual client, my objective is to assist in pursuing personal goals. The therapeutic environment that we will build together will provide a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore ways to cope, adapt to change, challenge yourself and work through emotional difficulties. I believe in incorporating each person’s unique experience and embracing individual identity to promote self-growth. Through guided discovery, acceptance and a variety of techniques tailored to the specific needs of each individual, my goal is for you to graduate from therapy feeling empowered, autonomous and ready with the tools and skills needed to thrive.

My training and experience involve working with a variety of populations including adults, adolescents and children. I have experience working with foster youth, their biological parents and foster families. My experience ranges from working with Couples, Children, Adolescents and Adults with Complex Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Mood Disorder’s and Personality Disorders.

Welcome, my name is Gisselle! I believe we are all consistently going through some form of transition in life – some good and some not so great. Whether you are transitioning out of a partnership, working to stay in one, or just trying to adjust to new changes in life or loss, I am here to support and guide you to a better place. I am passionate about helping others improve their quality of life, armed with over ten years of training in the field of mental health. I have worked with couples, families, adults, adolescents and children, helping them overcome and/or better manage symptoms that come with life’s unexpected turns.

Many clients come to me for many reasons; wanting to unpack their past, leave it behind or seeking help to focus on the present. Whatever your intent is, I will meet you where you are and help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Whether you are a new parent (or one who needs a little extra support), struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief or simply need some assistance adjusting or coping with life – know you do not have to do it alone. After personally experiencing challenges of my own, I have become passionate about normalizing peripartum anxiety, depression, and the difficulties that come with adjusting to life's new roles. 

My goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental, safe space to work through life’s challenges and reach a healthier and happier you! Let's make this moment of transition an opportunity for a more peaceful transformation of yourself. I believe that healing can only occur in a safe place – with a trusted person – and I hope I can be that person for you! I look forward to learning about your needs, areas of potential growth, and how I can best support you.
