“Therapy offers a sanctuary for your healing journey, tailored just for you. My goal is to help you harness your resilience and support you as you navigate your path to well-being.”
Hola! I’m Gabi, a queer, bilingual therapist, and I'm here to support you through life's challenges. I believe in your potential to heal and grow. My approach is warm, validating, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore and challenge beliefs that have been holding you back, uncover patterns you want to change, and address the impact of intergenerational trauma.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. I blend various therapeutic approaches, always keeping your specific needs in mind, and recognizing that no client is the same. I believe a holistic approach is key. Whether you're navigating life as a first-generation individual, dealing with complex trauma, generational trauma, complex dynamics in your relationships, or seeking support as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m here for you. Expect a collaborative and supportive environment where comfort is paramount. Our sessions might include moments of laughter, deep introspection, and sometimes intensity—all aimed at helping you feel safe and understood.
Outside of therapy, I love volunteering in Pilsen offering Reiki, exploring new restaurants, hiking with my partner, and spending time with our Goldendoodle, Bailey. Traveling, reading, and being in nature also bring me joy. I’m always on the lookout for new hobbies—maybe you can share some ideas! Reaching out for therapy is a courageous step, and I’m here to make it as smooth as possible. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey of healing and self-discovery together.
