I am a Licensed Clinical Professional counselor who is passionate about taking on the journey with people to assist them with identifying the interconnections of different parts of their lives. Once the relations are known, it is easier to understand the way each part affects another.

I looked for therapy because I really wanted to talk, or vent, about life, problems, and things that I usually do not talk to other people. Gaelle provided me with a friendly environment where I could share things and not feel judged and I love that.
