Hello! I’m a Resident in Counseling with a focus on sex therapy, relational healing, trauma recovery, and work with couples. I support college students and young adults navigating concerns related to intimacy, communication, relationships, and identity development. I work with individuals and couples experiencing challenges such as mismatched desire, performance-related anxiety, painful sex, communication difficulties, and relational or attachment trauma. I also provide affirming support for students exploring LGBTQIA+ identity, ethical non-monogamy, and the impact of religious or spiritual experiences, including purity culture, spiritual abuse, sexual shame, or faith transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates person-centered, narrative, mindfulness-based, CBT, feminist, and trauma-informed frameworks. I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and grounded in authenticity, where students can explore identity, relationships, and sexuality without judgment. With training in clinical mental health counseling and spiritual care, I help clients build insight, strengthen communication, heal from trauma, and develop a healthier sense of self and connection. If you’re looking for support around intimacy, identity, or relationship concerns, I’d be glad to work with you.

I work with clients who think of themselves as "the black sheep"- someone who feels like they don't quite fit in. Sometimes, clients identify that they are co-dependent in relationships, meaning they struggle to make decisions on their own.

Perhaps you spend a lot of time in your head or seeking reassurance from others. Together we can explore ways to get you moving on the path towards your goals while also increasing self-awareness and self-compassion.

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 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. 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.
