Meet Gabrielle,
Psychometrist & Student Mental Health Counsellor

Gabrielle completed her Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology at Western University and is currently completing her Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary. Her advanced graduate training has included experience across public schools, community mental health agencies, private practice, and family therapy settings.

Under the supervision of Dr. Trista Keating, Gabrielle has developed experience in the assessment of learning disabilities, ADHD, and mental health concerns, with particular attention to presentations in girls. She has also completed advanced training in systemic family therapy through the Calgary Family Therapy Centre, where she has worked with diverse family systems and relational concerns.

Gabrielle provides counselling to individuals experiencing a range of mental health and neurodevelopmental concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and relational and systemic frameworks. She considers not only the individual's experiences, but also the relationships, environments, and broader circumstances that may be influencing their well-being.

Gabrielle values collaboration with families and, when appropriate, schools and other health professionals to support coordinated and comprehensive care. Her approach is warm, curious, and practical, with an emphasis on developing meaningful skills while recognizing each client's individual strengths and circumstances.

Alongside her clinical work, Gabrielle is actively involved in research, teaching, and knowledge translation. She has contributed to multiple publications related to child and youth mental health, trauma-informed care, autism, and clinician well-being and has received research awards recognizing her work. She is also a teaching assistant and guest lecturer at the University of Calgary and has presented within the Calgary community on topics including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), and strength-based approaches that support authentic self-expression.
