Hello
My name is Gabriella, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) at Reflections Counseling & Wellness. I graduated from Walden University with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants with my fiance, cuddling with my dog, Harley, and spending time with my family.
My Story
Counseling is not my first career; I have a Master’s degree in Secondary Education and over five years of experience working with children and adolescents. It was during this time that I realized I wanted to help young people in a way that I found more meaningful.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages; however, I am particularly passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I enjoy integrating my background as an educator into my counseling work, using my understanding of learning styles and developmental stages to create personalized strategies for growth and healing.
My primary goal in counseling is to create a safe and empowering space for my clients. I want you to feel accepted, heard, empowered, validated, and supported. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care with a focus on depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and women’s issues. I utilize a person-centered approach and integrate CBT and mindfulness techniques in my sessions. I strive to bring empathy and genuineness into our sessions to create an environment for you to self-reflect and embrace your most authentic self.
Together, we will embark on a journey towards your growth, positive change, and well-being. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
