The Founding Owner &

One Who is Excited to Read Your Writing Prompts

I am an LGBTQIA+ ally, a creative, an entrepreneur, a therapist, a wife to my best friend and a mom to my loves. I’m constantly thinking, craving and creating.

CURIOSITY is one of my favorite words. It’s what keeps me sharp and has helped me create these trainings and meditations.

I have a niche for taking heavily weighted neuro-bio material and making it palpable, easy to understand AND applicable for work with children, teens & adults.

I also have a knack for taking play therapy strategies and concepts and adapting them to be useful with skeptical teens, professional executives even government officials (for real).

My experience as the founding owner of a family therapy center, training facility and past VA Play Therapy Association board member has helped me create trainings that I hope offer value, inspiration AND enhance your own curiosity about what can be possible in the therapy room!

"I thought everything about this training was wonderful.

It was extremely organized, thorough, and inclusive to all learning styles.

Gabrielle gave specific examples for every scenario, which was so helpful in conceptualizing how to navigate similar situations in my own sessions with clients.

I also loved that there there was a session that happened in real time (sand tray training).

This training exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to take more!"

"I LOVED this training. The case examples and live demo (experiential cards) were

so helpful.

I could imagine using this with all kinds of clients (ages, presenting issues, identities, etc.).

I really appreciated the trainer's focus and emphasis on feeling the energy of the room and trusting yourself."

"I appreciated how engaging the session was with lots of discussion, learning, and activities included throughout!."

"I had a great time listening and learning today.

I appreciated the (book club) group discussion format, and the perspectives that each participant brought to the room.

I have a lot to learn, and am thankful for the discussion surrounding CCPT and

issues such as cultural competency, touch, limit setting, and more"
