I tell every client of mine from the beginning of our work together that the version of Gabby in the therapy room is no different than the Gabby outside of it. I value bringing warmth, humor, mindfulness, and light-heartedness into the work that I do because those are things that I greatly prioritize in my personal life. I truly believe that change happens organically when connection, safety, and trust are prioritized with intention. Let's collaborate, have fun, allow space for your truest emotions to arise, and work together to keep writing the beautiful story of your life.

In my practice I strive to provide the consistent, warm, but straight forward support many of us need to grow. I believe laughter and joy can be a powerful part of the healing process. Exploring patterns and finding solutions as a team helps my clients learn how to be independent problem solvers. My day to day life is spent with family, my dog, and outdoors as often as possible.

I engage in a therapeutic style that embodies transparency, laughter and kindness.
