Hi there, I'm Gabriel!
I began my career in mental health as an inpatient psychiatric nurse (RN: 2008–2018), where I gained firsthand experience supporting individuals through intense emotional and psychological crises. Since 2018, I've been practicing as a licensed MFT, specializing in trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and psychosis.
My focus
I specialize in issues across the stress and trauma spectrum: Chronic work or relationship stress, Self-loathing, low self-worth, and shame, feeling stuck, burned out, or like life has lost its meaning, Future-oriented anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or recurring nightmares, living for others’ needs while neglecting your own, and addiction issues.
My approach
My therapeutic approach blends Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, and Relational and Experiential techniques, with room for spiritual practices when desired. My work is grounded in the belief that we are all perfectly imperfect, and healing begins when we embrace that truth.
