Her broad experience equips her with the tools to address a wide range of issues and provide effective support. Gabrielle’s practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and more.

Shae specializes in working with teens and adults who have experienced parental conflict, relational trauma, and narcissistic abuse.

She integrates gentle, supportive techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work (helping you notice and release stress stored in the body), mindfulness, and DBT-based tools for managing overwhelming emotions and building healthier boundaries. You’ll be an active part of the process, with your voice, experiences, and goals guiding the work together.
Therapy with Shae isn’t one-size-fits-all. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where you can unpack your experiences, reconnect with your inner voice, and begin to rebuild a strong sense of self. Her sessions are collaborative, honest, and focused on what you need, when you're ready.
Outdoor sessions are also available with a signed consent form, offering a different way to connect in a calming, natural environment.
No matter where you’re starting from, Shae is here to walk beside you while helping you make sense of what you’ve been through, rediscover who you are, and create a life that feels grounded, empowered, and truly yours.
