Hello, my name is Kamilla Gabriel and I am an Associate Therapist at Center for Compassion. I was drawn to this work by my own experiences with death, trauma and existential anxiety and have felt the overwhelming emotions and depths of sorrow that can accompany grief. If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck, you are not alone. Asking for help can be difficult, as there are parts in all of us that do not feel safe to be seen. I use a person centered, mindfulness-based approach to create a safe and grounding space for you to be heard and seen, and to openly feel and grieve. As your therapist, I will support you to mindfully slow down, intentionally explore internal narratives and to reconnect with your body, heart and authentic needs. I believe that healing requires a journey inward, in a safely held and supportive environment that is honored and tended to with kindness and compassion. I have been guided to this work in honor and in memory of my beloved stepfather, Charlie.
