Hi, I'm Gabby (she/her)

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a trained Art Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, youth, adults, and families. This is work that I feel deeply honoured and rejuvenated by.Whether you’re seeking therapy, group workshops, or consultation services, I approach each experience with respect for your voice and lived experience.

Adults

A collaborative space for adults to live in a way that is aligned with their values.

Children, Teens & Youth

Relational, play-based, child/youth-centered space - to identify and process big emotions as they navigate challenges like bullying, social media, and identity formation.

Family & Caregivers

A space to reflect on and strengthen parent-child, sibling, and whole family dynamics, and support for parenting skills for parents of neurodivergent youth.

Approach & Philosophy

In my work, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, integrating them based on the person, their experiences and what feels most supportive for them. My training includes somatic and other body-based approaches, Art Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Theraplay and other play-based approaches, as well as relational, feminist, anti-oppressive, and attachment-based approaches. I am currently completing specialized trauma psychotherapy training for individuals with PTSD, which I will fully integrate into my practice starting this November 2026.At the heart of my work is the belief that we already carry an inherent capacity for knowing ourselves and moving toward what we need. Trauma, oppression, disconnection, and systemic harm can create barriers between us and that inner wisdom. My intention is to honour your inherent wisdom by approaching your stories with respect, curiosity, and compassion. Rather than positioning myself as the expert on your life, I see my role as walking alongside you as we become curious. I hope to support you in re-membering yourself—reconnecting with parts of your story and your ways of knowing that may have become harder to access, and finding your way back to what you have known all along.

Background

Hi, I'm Gabby. I use she/her pronouns. I'm an Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I hold an undergraduate degree in English, Education and Sociology, as well as a graduate degree in Art Therapy from Toronto Art Therapy Institute. I consider myself a lifelong learner and have and will continue to pursue extensive training in support of my work with folks.Based in Toronto, I hold over 10 years of experience working in both private and various youth and adult mental health settings, with children, youth, adults, families and caregivers. It's work that I feel honoured and rejuvenated by.Outside of the therapeutic space, I enjoy going for walks or hikes with my dog, Cody, painting, and taking classes in things I’m not particularly experienced in — from modern dance to woodworking. I enjoy being a beginner and making space for the playful, curious part of myself.

I facilitate group workshops designed to support wellbeing, creativity, and connection. Each workshop is tailored to the needs of the group, and may include art-based activities, reflective practices, and practical tools for self-care.

Art as Therapy Workshops

The act of art-making itself as a therapeutic tool. Through creative expression (such as drawing, painting, or other hands-on activities), the focus is on the process of creating, rather than interpreting or analyzing. This allows art-making to become a mindful and restorative practice in its own right. No prior art experience is needed.

Themed Workshops

Workshops can also be designed around a specific theme to meet the unique needs of your group. This may look like, managing workplace stress, exploring identity, or fostering team connection.
