Hi, I'm Gabby! I believe the therapeutic relationship is incredibly important, and I always try to show up in therapy as myself: direct, warm, funny, and curious. While I draw from several different modalities, the core of my work is influenced by humanistic and person-centered perspectives that see you as a person with unique needs, values, and experiences. I believe that there is no “one size fits all” for therapy. I also believe it is important to acknowledge how systemic difficulties can directly impact one’s mental health and physical well-being.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, with a primary focus on depression, anxiety, family-of-origin issues, relationship difficulties, and grief and loss. My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and respect for each client’s individuality.
The heart of my work is connection. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you can share openly and feel supported just as you are. I offer virtual sessions and am passionate about working with college students, young adults, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Reach out and schedule a 15-minute consultation today!
