Trauma-informed counselling & art therapy to embrace your whole self 

Integrative care for mind, body, and relationships

Are you looking for guidance to navigate the lingering effects of past experiences?

Traumatic events and wounds from significant relationships can create a complex web of emotions that are hard to untangle. Feeling lost, fearful, or stuck are natural responses to these painful experiences.

That's where I come in.

I bring a comprehensive understanding of how our nervous systems respond to stress and trauma. I strive to create an environment where your body and brain can slow down, allowing you to gain new awareness and develop new perspectives. Together, we can work on integrating these distressing experiences so they no longer hold the power to disrupt your life.

I’m here to walk you through:

  • healing childhood wounds, especially if your parents couldn’t provide the support you needed

  • understanding and expressing your emotions

  • building security and closeness in your relationships

  • developing ways of coping that don’t lead to further problems

  • remembering who you truly are, underneath the stories that have been piled on top

Gabby, a female counsellor, is sitting on a dark green armchair and smiling while looking off to the right. You can see a lamp and a mug beside her.

As a therapist of Mi’kmaq and English ancestry, I integrate the medicine wheel, art therapy, and Focusing-Oriented Therapy in my practice.

I believe that creative expression is a powerful way to regulate our nervous system and promote holistic well-being across physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

When we make art, we use our brain and body together - our whole selves - to experience our struggles in a new way, which can help us get unstuck and move towards balance.

Make yourself comfy here.

Client Testimonials

“Gabby is a wonderful therapist. What I love about our sessions are how attentive she is of me. She isn't there to just listen to me but to make sure I'm comfortable. She knows when I'm getting overwhelmed with my thoughts before I can fully comprehend how I'm feeling. I have never felt intimidated by her or her presence and I cherish every session I have with her. I can't recommend her enough.”

“My sessions with Gabby are always a highlight of my week. Her patience, calm energy, and friendly warmth make it easy to open up about the things I need help with. Her knowledge and advice has helped me become more aware of my struggles with neurodiversity, grief, gender, and identity. Gabby’s exercises have been incredibly helpful and taught me a lot about focusing on my senses to help center myself when in turmoil.”
