My name is Gabriella and I am a registered social worker (MSW, RSW), psychotherapist, certified perinatal mental health provider (PMH-C) and consultant.

I have experience working with parents who have children with disabilities/medical complexities/ prematurity. In addition, as a disability affirmative therapist, I also work with adolescents and adults with both congenital and acquired disabilities.

  • pregnancy, adoption, post-partum
  • fertility challenges, perinatal loss, birth trauma
