Hi I'm Gaby. If you have been feeling sick and stuck in a negative thought process and wondering if there is anyone who can understand or help you, let's talk. I am here to help you experience change and escape from the pattern of life that has left you feeling different, unwell, and stuck.
I am first and foremost a Trauma Informed Recovery Therapist. This means that I believe in you and I believe in your goals and I know we can find a way to get there while acknowledging all that you have been through. I realized I wanted to become a therapist during a serendipitous summer camp experience—40 feet in the air on the high ropes course, I learned that I loved helping people process challenging experiences in creative ways. I love using a lot of different approaches depending on what we are working on. Some of my favorite methods are cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, strength based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
I have been doing individual therapy with teens and adults of all ages since 2020. Previously, I worked as a clinical consultant, clinical director, and clinical supervisor in specialized mental health rehabilitation settings. I have been supporting people in creating and meeting their goals since 2012. I have used all of my past work experiences to learn how to work with clients to explore dreams, and strengths, and learn how to make these things their reality. I use eclectic strategies to support people as they sort through their lives and figure out ways to move forward in a new light.
I believe that therapy is a special space that allows a person to sit, process, and problem-solve in a way that can’t always be done in day-to-day.

Creating a space where you can find what works best for you in your journey. Focusing on strengths helps individuals recognize their own resilience and capabilities, which is vital for growth. By tailoring my approach to each person's unique situation, I honor their individuality and foster a deeper sense of self-understanding and agency. People often thrive when they feel heard and supported in a way that aligns with their own needs and goals, rather than being pushed into a redefined mold.

Hi! I'm so glad you are here to learn a bit more about me. Picking the right therapist is such an important decision and I want you to feel confident you've found a great match.
One of my biggest priorities is to make therapy feel good for people. I know that for many, therapy can seem awkward or uncomfortable. I'm trying my best to change that narrative by allowing our time together to be relaxed and a space where you feel like an equal. I want you to feel seen and understood anytime we work together.
My specialty is helping those who have experienced truly difficult seasons in life find three main things: self-awareness, balance and peace. This often includes working with those who have had tough childhood experiences, first responders, relationship issues (divorce, abuse, infidelity, etc.), sexual assault victims, and parents with postpartum anxiety and/or depression.
In our sessions together we will focus on getting to know your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We will identify where the problem spots are, and collaborate in creating strategies you can use to feel more balanced in your day-to-day life. We can also explore memories and past experiences, understanding how these affect your present. Ultimately, our work can help you to find peace with the past, contentment with your present and enthusiasm for the future.

I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. I've been there. Many years ago I embarked on my own personal growth journey and I believe that has made me a more compassionate, empathic therapist.
I am very active in the therapeutic process and give direct feedback and suggestions for implementing lifestyle changes.
I have been a therapist for over 30 years, specializing primarily in depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and addiction/alcoholism.

There are moments in life where we might find ourselves feeling lost, confused, out of control, or just unhappy. These feelings can make us feel frustrated, hopeless, and off course. Therapy can help navigate those feelings and guide us in regaining our sense of self. I believe that therapy can be the first step towards healing.
In my 7 years of providing bicultural therapy services and overlooking hundreds of cases as a clinical supervisor, I have learned many approaches that have shaped my practice. I’ve worked with seniors managing grief, teenagers discovering their identity and self-worth, and families that are dealing with life adjustments.

Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone.
If you feel lost and unsure of your life's direction, are struggling with strained relationships, or find yourself overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, know that you are not alone. Many people share these feelings, and seeking guidance is a courageous first step toward change. Children, adolescents, and adults alike can feel discouraged, unmotivated, and frustrated by life's demands. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals across all life stages to address these challenges.
For children, I help develop social skills, identify and manage emotions, and teach problem-solving strategies for everyday situations.
For adolescents, I assist in exploring life choices such as, peer and parent relationships, identity, attend or not attending college, and managing complex emotions.
For adults, I provide support in finding purpose, building self-care routines, and navigating life's transitions.
Together, we'll identify your current concerns and explore how your past experiences may be shaping your present. By uncovering your strengths, we'll create practical strategies to help you move forward. We'll set meaningful goals and work collaboratively to achieve them in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
Take the first step toward clarity and balance. Contact me today to begin your journey.

As a therapist who is also in recovery from multiple conditions, I am not afraid to share my humanity to better reach my clients. One of the worst feelings is to feel unreachable, and I have found that a little quid pro quo can go a long way in breaking down some of the tallest barriers. Many clients may harbor some fear or anxiety about beginning therapy, so if I can be "hospitable" in any way, I think it shows my clients from the beginning that I care about their comfort.

Loves Park, IL - Accepting clients in IL
I am an Illinois and Wisconsin Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has extensive experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University, where the prominent perspective was person-centered therapy. I have worked with several different client populations including couples with marriage difficulties, adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and other life adjustment issues, physically and sexually abused adolescents and adults, adolescents with mental health issues related to school, home, adjustment, or mental illness, and even adolescents and adults on the verge of suicide. In working with these populations, I have gained vast experience in family dynamics and feel it is important to focus on the whole system, especially when a child is involved. I have also been trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and I feel many adults and adolescents could greatly benefit from learning these skills. God is our ultimate counselor and His word is referenced and prayed from as part of the healing process.

Lisle, IL - Accepting clients in IL
I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor licensed in Illinois. I have 20 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children both in a school environment as well as in a private office setting. I follow a holistic rather than a medical model as I feel strongly that many mental struggles are related to unprocessed trauma and/or emotions. I strive to work with each client to help him/her achieve therapy goals and to provide support throughout this process.
