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.
