My goal is to help clients uncover their true potential and lead lives worth celebrating. My counseling style is humorous, compassionate, and transparent, I listen with empathy, and I maintain accountability, because being on your side means supporting you in becoming your best self.
I have been practicing social work since 2012, and my work experience spans in-patient and outpatient hospital care, schools, multiple levels of care in eating disorder treatment centers, and Human Resources in the startup space. That breadth shapes how I approach each client — I understand that life is messy, multidimensional, and rarely fits a clinical box.
I founded GN Counseling and Wellness because I believed something was missing in the therapy landscape: a practice that combined evidence-based skills with genuine psychodynamic depth, and that treated the hour together as the beginning, not the end, of the work. If you're looking for extra support through a challenging situation, or simply feel ready to move your life in a new direction, I'm here to listen and help you identify what matters.
My approach is practical and progressive. I draw from DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic frameworks, applying them fluidly as the client's needs shift. I believe in meeting clients where they are, emotionally and geographically, which is why I offer virtual sessions as the primary mode of care. Together we'll unearth long-standing patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back, and build real tools for navigating what comes next.
Gabbie works best with motivated, high-functioning adults who are ready to do the work, and who want a therapist who will be honest with them, not just validating.
Sessions with Gabbie are structured but not rigid. Expect directness, warmth, and honest conversation, including about what's working and what isn't.
