Hello. My name is Gabriela, but you can call me Ella. I have experience working with teens, young adults, and adults. Additionally, I have experience working with couples and individuals who are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and communication. The most important thing for me is hearing my clients’ stories and collaborating with them to make them the heroes of their stories. I like to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my client’s exploration and journey of self.

You are not alone. Often in life, we feel alone or misunderstood. You are not alone in this experience, which may feel isolating and dark. Sitting in this experience can be scary and diffi cult to overcome. However, I believe therapy can assist in shining and making the darkness lighter. As a therapist, I would like to support and assist you in this journey of self-discovery and building the person you want to build.

I support my clients to understand what they need to re-establish and reconnect with themselves and others. My therapeutic approach is based on Narrative therapy, Attachment theories, and Family System theories. I provide a safe place for my clients to explore different angles of their issues that we may sometimes miss. Through therapy, we will work together on communication, irrational beliefs, family positions, boundaries, and identifying/expressing emotions. Although it can be challenging, I trust in your abilities to fi nd new skills and perspectives.

I come from a bicultural and multicultural background. Therefore, I understand what therapy means to you and what challenges you could be facing. You have taken the first step on this journey. Together, we can strengthen your tools to reconnect with yourself and your environment.
