How Others Would Describe Gabby’s Style of Therapy:
I am a north Florida native, born in Orlando and raised in Jacksonville. My Mom is from El Salvador and my father is from the southern U.S. I am sensitive to the challenges that first and second generation Americans face as well as the nuances of being part of a military family.
Throughout my teen years I managed stress, anxiety and depression. Being in therapy to support my mental healing showed me the true value of therapy and led me to pursue a career as a therapist.
If I am not watching a good show (Downtown Abby is my favorite), I am working on house projects with my husband or reading a good book. I make movement a huge part of my health and wellness and enjoy spending free time at art festivals or farmer’s markets.
Recently married and on the journey of growing a family, navigating life with a 1 year old, I value and understand the importance of maternal mental health. I work closely with mothers to help support them to feel fulfilled, happy and loved in their relationships.
