Gabriella offers a validating, non-judgmental and safe space to help you explore strengths, challenges and feelings with greater self-acceptance and authenticity.
Her areas of focus include inner child healing, adverse childhood experiences, overcoming complex and sexual trauma, cultural/ identity issues, adoption trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, self-esteem and navigating life transitions.
