Reconnect with what really matters and find your way forward.

Black and white frame.

Have you been feeling like the life you want to live has been put on hold?

Maybe it’s been like this for a while.

Right now, you find yourself:

  • Going through the motions, but feeling disconnected from your own life

  • Wondering how you got here, and unsure how to get where you want to be

  • Second-guessing your needs, your decisions, or even your emotions

  • Feeling like you're carrying so much, but unsure where to set it down

  • Longing for clarity, motivation, or just a moment to breathe

    You’re not broken for feeling stuck. And you don’t have to untangle it all alone.

    Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about reconnecting with yourself in a way that makes life feel more like yours.

    When you're ready, I'm here.

meet Gabrielle Samo, MA, LPCC

Welcome! I’m Gabrielle.

I’m a relational therapist, nature lover, and someone who knows how confusing and exhausting it can be to navigate life when the world expects you to hold it all together.

I’ve walked through grief, change, and disconnection myself; the kind of experiences that break you open and invite you to find a new way forward. That’s part of why I’m here: because I believe in the power of slowing down, listening deeply, and making space for your full humanity.

Therapy with me isn’t just about treating “disorders.” It’s about learning to live in alignment with who you are. In a world that pulls your attention in a thousand directions, therapy can be the space where you come home to yourself.

I bring in metaphors and perspectives from the natural world, because nature reminds us how to be cyclical, how to rest, how to grow in our own time. I bring warmth, humor, and deep curiosity, because I genuinely care about who you are and what matters to you.

You don’t have to walk this path alone. Let’s find your way forward together.

How I Can Help You

  • STRESS & ANXIETY

    Often, anxiety and depression are signs that something in your life or body is calling for your attention. I work with people who feel like they should be fine… and are exhausted from pretending.

    Together we’ll help you better understand your internal patterns, uncover what your symptoms might be trying to communicate, and learn how to care for yourself in a way that feels sustainable, not performative.

  • GRIEF & LOSS

    Whether you’re grieving a death, a role, a relationship, or a life that no longer fits, we’ll slow down and honor what’s real.

    No toxic positivity. No rush to “move on.” Just space to process, remember, and figure out how to keep living with the depth of what you’ve lost and who you’re becoming.

  • DISORDERED EATING

    If food, control, or your body dominate your mental space, it can feel isolating, especially if no one sees how hard it is. You might know all the “right” things intellectually, but still feel stuck in patterns that bring shame or exhaustion.

    In our work, we’ll explore the driving forces and help you build a more supportive, trusting relationship with food and your body.

    LEARN MORE

  • IDENTITY & SELF WORTH

    So many of us were taught how to perform, produce, and meet expectations, but not how to understand ourselves.

    In our work, we’ll take a closer look at the beliefs and roles you’ve absorbed over time. We’ll explore how those patterns formed, which ones are still serving you, and which ones it might be time to release.

    LEARN MORE

  • PERFECTIONISM

    You hold yourself to high standards, maybe impossibly high. On the outside, you seem capable and steady. On the inside, it can feel like you’re always chasing, never arriving.
    In therapy, we’ll look at the pressure you carry, where it comes from, and what it would mean to soften. Not because you’re failing, but because you deserve to feel like enough.
