Hi, I’m Gaby, a therapist in New York City working with adults and young adults. I work with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who want to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns that shape how they move through their lives and relationships. I also have a particular interest in working with creatives. For clients who are interested, I welcome spirituality, meaning, and purpose as part of the conversation in therapy.
Specialties & Who I Work With
Our work together might include:
- Managing anxiety, overthinking, and feeling overwhelmed
- Working through perfectionism, shame, self-doubt, or feeling like you’re never quite doing enough
- Exploring the emotional experience of ADHD, including frustration, loneliness, or feeling different from others
- Understanding your emotions, needs, and relationship patterns, and becoming more comfortable expressing what you need
- Getting clearer on what matters to you, what may be keeping you stuck, and how you want to move forward
I welcome exploration of how race, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, family, and other aspects of identity and lived experience shape how you understand yourself and move through the world.
Therapy Approach
My approach is warm, curious, collaborative, active, and relational. I’m interested in helping you better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion while also getting clearer on your needs, values, relationships, and how you want to move forward.
I don’t believe there is one way to do therapy that works for everyone. Depending on what you’re coming in with and what feels helpful to you, our work may involve making sense of patterns, slowing down and paying attention to emotions as they come up, approaching difficult parts of yourself with greater compassion, or working more experientially. My work is informed by relational and parts-based approaches, mindfulness, compassion-focused principles, and somatic and experiential work. I also incorporate EMDR and elements of AEDP when appropriate
Background & Training
I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from NYU Silver School of Social Work. My postgraduate training includes:
- AEDP Immersion Training, AEDP Institute
- EMDR Basic Training, EMDR Institute
I continue to pursue ongoing education in approaches that inform my work, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), parts work, mindfulness, somatic, and experiential approaches.
