We believe in your ability to make lasting changes, with the company of a compassionate therapeutic relationship- where we teach, counsel, heal, and support you. Life can get us knotted up and we want to help you to untangle that knot and start feeling like your ideal self again...or for the very first time; by finally addressing the trauma, sadness, anxiety, lack of motivation, poor relationships, poor coping skills, lack of balance and calm, and other issues that hold you back.

As a therapist, my focus is assisting individuals with ASD in maximizing their quality of life, via enhancing social and relational connections. I function from the perspective of neurodiversity, that there are variations in how our brains process and interpret information. Through identifying strengths, we can build a foundation to reach desired goals. I specialize in assisting individuals and their families in addressing needs related to the areas of social skills, behavioral needs, and school concerns. I also specialize in addressing topics of hygiene, body curiosity, sexual safety, and consent for individuals with ASD.

I believe that contact with a psychologist can be impactful in as little as one visit, and a variety of different strategies can be utilized once someone has begun developing insight. Often people are ready to make changes but can't get an appointment soon enough, or they aren't sure if they want to go to therapy but the process is intimidating and overwhelming. I created this teletherapy process to bridge that gap, to assist patients with discovering their needs while also giving the option to treat them with therapy virtually.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treating adults, kids, and teens with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, agoraphobia, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), social anxiety, phobias, hoarding, depression, anxiety, trichotillomania, dermatillomania, and other conditions. I use evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and habit-reversal training (HRT). My approach is based on action, and it's embedded in your real life (not just my office). As such, I will ask you to work on things outside of our sessions together in order to facilitate progress and improve your quality of life.

**Accepting New Clients for January 2021** This year has taken a toll on almost everyone's mental health. We are all hoping for a better, easier 2021 but deep down we know things won't magically shift to "normal" overnight. Therapy can be a place to process fear of the unknown, difficult emotions, and determine how to meet your needs during this time.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their issues, needs, and goals.

In the broadest terms, my practice centers on the idea of helping you to establish or restore greater authenticity--a more authentic voice, space of desire and trajectory of drive/motivation. This can be addressed through more short-term approaches that focus primarily on the present, or a deeper approach that considers and works through past experiences as they inevitably impact the present in ways not always available to consciousness. By uncovering these occluded forces left over from the past and lingering in the present, you will be able to develop broader insight and live more fully with greater intention.

I believe that many emotional problems people experience stem from the accumulation of previously well intentioned but flawed solutions for every day difficulties. These solutions often create secondary dysfunctional issues which aggravate the original problem. This vicious cycle is particularly relevant to relationships. Unreasonable expectations of oneself and others combined with inappropriate behavior in certain situations contribute to the downward spiral. Using evidence based strategies, I coach clients to make the appropriate attitudinal, emotional and behavioral changes necessary which can result in creative and workable solutions to their difficulties resulting in lasting emotional growth and greater satisfaction with their lives.

At Gabby Cares, my approach is holistic and collaborative with a primary focus on strengthening families, parents, couples, and individuals to reach their full potential.

Couples or Individuals, are you trying to heal and strengthen relationships, or get better at communication? Do you need support during life changes? Through exploration, we can work hard to restore the normal state of peace and self-identity.

Therapy can be intimidating to consider when you are having difficulty with elements of your life or relationships. Particularly during these uncertain times. I applaud you for taking the important step of researching the right clinician for you. My goal is to understand you as a person on your journey of growth, acceptance and change. You will not be treated as a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. We will approach your unique challenges/opportunities in a honest and trusting environment.

My therapeutic approach is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your past, present, and future.

I am familiar with working with clients who have experienced or are experiencing trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress, grief, chronic illness, depression, life transitions, and more.

If you're in a problem relationship, experiencing infidelity, possible divorce, life transitions, difficulty in the workplace, too little time, worried about money, or your family's making you crazy - I can help. Moving from problem talk to solution talk is my focus. I enjoy working together discussing your concerns as you move toward fulfilling relationships, an overall better existence, and peace with yourself. We all want to feel happy and hopeful. However, sometimes life gets in the way and we're unsure of our next step. It's important to know that it's OK to ask for help.
