Looking for a relational and authentic therapist who's just as human as you are? You've come to the right place! I work from an empowering, neurodiversity-affirming lens, and I love helping my clients create a life that is most aligned with their personal values and authentic self. My approach integrates body-based (somatic) therapies, parts work, and creative expression. I try to meet you where you're at and strike a balance between helping you feel safe "enough" and challenged "enough" to help you grow, however you define growth for yourself. I also work with kids in person at my group practice called The Real Work in Beaverton.
Somatic/expressive therapy: This approach can help you move from "talking about" feelings to actually processing them. ADHD coaching: I love helping you find ways to work with your ADHD, not against it! Anxiety/OCD: I might be a good fit if you're seeking a holistic alternative to ERP or CBT. I typically use a lot of ACT for anxiety and OCD.
Navigating life as a person dealing with trauma, anxiety, or neurodivergence can be overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients in their journeys to knowing and loving all parts of themselves, as I take the same journey in life myself. If you're interested or curious, I would love to hear from you! :)

Gabi is an incredible clinician and makes wonderful connections with clients. She is patient, wise, and allows a child to move at their own pace. Gabi is so much fun to play with and her knowledge of neurodivergence is on point!
