More About Quinelle:

She prides herself on using a blend of humor, gentle guidance, direct statements, and authenticity to assist clients. Additionally that her empathy allows her to feel emotions in the room and help effectively process them, even through virtual sessions. When not working she’s often taking her self care seriously, cooking or letting her love of food and beautiful sights guide her through NYC (and other parts of the world). Intentionally carving away “me time” despite enjoying loved ones. She’ll likely check in on “how you’re doing for real” in each session. Just because of her belief that it’s important be aware of and make room for our feelings so we can effectively interact with others.
