She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. She currently works at a charter school as a mental health clinician on-site, in private practice, and at Saint Jude‘s Ranch for children, where she works with kids in the foster care system.

Education & Prior Work Experience

Gabrielle earned her bachelor’s degree from Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Right after college, she spent a year in Los Angeles serving at a shelter for women and children who were survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. She knew she wanted to be a therapist before that experience but she became a different kind of therapist because of that experience. Gabrielle later went on to pursue her master's degree at Lincoln Christian University. 

Strengths

Gabrielle enjoys the arts and believes that they are very therapeutic. She often finds her clients’ creative outlets and utilizes them in the therapy process. She has created and facilitated creative arts camps to teach teens about the importance of art and character-building. Because she believes each person has unique gifts and talents that will increase the value of the world, she has made an art of bringing out the golden treasure in everyone, and affectionately refers to herself as a "gold digger".

Interests

In her spare time, Gabrielle enjoys singing, dancing, acting, photography, working out, taking road trips, and reading a good book. Fun Facts about Gabrielle: she used to sing with a Grammy-Award Winning Singing Ensemble called the Sounds of Blackness and she loves cats.
