Welcome

You've been carrying a lot,
for a really long time.

You may be feeling:

  • Like you always have to be the strong, confident and responsible one, no matter how overwhelmed you are inside
  • On edge in your relationships, always anticipating, adjusting yourself, trying to keep the peace
  • Drained from giving more than you have and not getting much back
  • Triggered in ways that feel bigger than the moment and hard to make sense of
  • A constant hum of worry or dread you can't quite locate, a part of you always scanning for what might go wrong, bracing for the worst, even when things seem fine on the surface
  • Pulled between being the parent, partner or friend you want to be and reactions that don't always feel within your control
  • Stuck in patterns with people who are emotionally immature, unavailable, narcissistic, or self-focused
  • Guilty for having needs, boundaries, or limits at all
  • Like you're always "too much", "not good enough", or that no matter what you do you end up failing somehow
  • Questioning yourself, your emotions, or whether any of what you experienced was really "that bad" to have impacted you this much

You may be holding it all together on the outside, but inside you constantly feel tense, reactive, guilty, or exhausted. You are not a failure. None of this means you are broken. It just means you have been doing so much, for so long, without enough support.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Gabrielle.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) · Ottawa & Ontario

Something brought you here. Maybe it's exhaustion, a pattern you can't seem to break, or just a quiet knowing that you deserve more than this. You've been the capable one for so long, but underneath that there's a heaviness that's getting harder to ignore. I work with high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, relational wounds, the lasting impact of relationships or family systems with emotionally immature or narcissistic people, and the tender transitions of pregnancy and postpartum. This is a space to finally set some of it down and start finding your way back to feeling grounded, steady, and like yourself again. You don't have to keep managing everything alone.

"Your pain is a compass guiding you to the parts of yourself most in need of love." - Kyle Hulehan
My Approach

Therapy That Meets You
Where You Are

Trauma-Informed

Every aspect of our work together is guided by an understanding of how trauma shapes the nervous system, the mind, and the body.

Collaborative

You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools, perspective, and unwavering support.

Evidence-Based

I draw from modalities with strong research foundations, including EMDR, somatic therapy, and IFS/parts work, tailored to your needs.

This is a space where old wounds soften, self-trust strengthens, and a more grounded, confident life begins.
