Gabrielle is a Licensed Professional Counselor and for the past 9 years she has worked in a variety of settings within the mental health field. She completed her undergraduate degree in Behavioral Science through Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City in 2014, and completed her Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Liberty University in 2018. She has experience working with a diverse population of clients including community-based care, inpatient hospitalization, case management and crisis services, and in-home services. Working with adolescents and women in all stages of life by providing client-centered and trauma-informed support is her primary focus. Gabrielle believes that every person has a unique story composed of many lived experiences, and by revisiting these stories healing can be found. She places great emphasis on the importance of identifying strengths and using them in the therapeutic process to build relationship, self-confidence, and the ability to overcome the stressors clients face in everyday life. Gabrielle primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but also incorporates elements of Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Systemic Therapy, and Art Therapy into her sessions. She has strengthened her skill set by completing advanced training in the Adolescent-Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Her clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, anger management, stress-related disorders, trauma, and substance abuse. Gabrielle is passionate about providing evidence-based treatments to her clients which helps them regain hope and achieve lifelong change.

 

Outside of the counseling office one could find Gabrielle enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of diet coke, reading a psychological thriller, practicing her photography skills, solving a mystery game, traveling, or spending time facetiming her friends and family back home in Pennsylvania.
