Meet your therapist

Hi, I’m Gabriella, but you can call me GG.

In therapy, you can expect me to:

  • Be honest but never judgmental

  • Keep you focused on your goals

  • Provide new ways of looking at things

  • Be curious about you, your life, motivations and desires

  • Offer practical and realistic suggestions

Mental health therapy is my third career and my most rewarding one.

15 years ago I was a tax accountant (loved solving problems, hated staring at a computer).

Then I moved into education and worked at colleges in student leadership development (loved working with people, hated the bureaucracy).

Becoming a therapist was something I had considered for years, but wasn’t always ready for. Once I felt I had worked through my personal stuff and was capable and experienced enough in life to help others, I pursued another graduate degree and love my work now more than ever.

I don’t see my previous roles as a waste of time, but rather a culmination of valuable experiences that taught me about myself, others, and how work can shape our lives. And knowing how to do my own taxes is something I will never regret!
