Bio:
Life can feel heavy at times, and we all need a safe space to feel seen and heard. I hope to offer you that space. I’m Gillian, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in hospice care, oncology, and mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults at many different stages of life, helping them navigate both the challenges and the changes that come with being human.
My areas of focus include life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and grief. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; one where we work together to uncover your innate strengths and build the tools you need to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. In our work, I draw from cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, mindfulness, and systems-based approaches to help you access your resilience and create meaningful change.
My goal is to provide a gentle, supportive, and creative environment where you can explore your experiences, gain new perspectives, and reconnect with what brings you balance and fulfillment. I invite you to reach out when you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing, growth, and a more grounded, joyful life.
