Since beginning her clinical practice in 2015, Gayle has developed a reputation for providing thoughtful, person-centered care that recognizes the connection between emotional wellbeing, life experiences, and overall health. She works with teens, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges related to grief, later-life transitions, medical conditions, pain management, gender identity concerns, and other areas affecting mental wellness. Outside of her professional work, Gayle enjoys snowboarding, bicycling, spending time with her dogs, participating in community groups, discovering great coffee shops, listening to music, and watching movies. These interests help her stay connected to the importance of balance, connection, and personal fulfillment.
