Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Gabby. Beginning therapy is a brave step, and I’m here to provide support as you navigate what feels most important in your life. I work with clients who are seeking to make sense of change, manage stress or anxiety, and cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and others. I bring experience from university counseling centers, faculty and staff assistance services, neuropsychological testing, and private practice. My aim is to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story and find new ways forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and respect for each client’s individuality. I draw on evidence-based methods, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, interpersonal therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel both understood and encouraged, so I focus on creating a space that feels safe and empowering. In our work together, we’ll examine patterns, practice new skills, and deepen self-awareness to support growth that lasts. My ultimate goal is to offer a setting where you can reflect openly, try out new ways of being, and discover possibilities for a more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

At 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. Therapy with me is a collaborative journey. I believe real growth happens when you feel supported yet also challenged in ways that encourage reflection and change. Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and explore practical steps, both inside and outside of sessions, to help you build clarity, resilience, and a more authentic way of living.
