Gabby has particular experience supporting individuals through early life transitions and relationship or relational concerns. Whether a patient is adjusting to adulthood, navigating career stress, managing changing family dynamics, or working through interpersonal difficulties, she creates a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where patients can explore challenges openly and work toward meaningful personal growth. She also works with individuals experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and PTSD or trauma, and offers additional support across a range of emotional and mental health concerns.

Her therapeutic approach is thoughtful, approachable, and goal-oriented. Gabby incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies to help patients better understand emotional patterns, manage stress, and improve day-to-day functioning. She is committed to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and values building strong therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, empathy, and authenticity.

Gabby earned her education from Boston University and is dedicated to providing patient-centered mental health care that respects each individual’s personal background, strengths, and goals. She believes therapy can be a meaningful space for healing, reflection, and developing tools that empower patients to move forward with confidence.

Outside of her clinical work, Gabby enjoys cooking new recipes, sewing, painting, scrapbooking, and going on long walks. Her creativity and appreciation for mindfulness and balance help inform the calm and supportive presence she brings to her sessions.
