Somatic Psychotherapy with Gabby

Welcome

Somatic psychotherapy with Gabby invites the wisdom of your body to take up space in therapy and be seen, felt, and heard. You might not have the words to give voice to it but if you are curious and you find yourself here to begin or deepen the practice of listening to that wisdom, you’re in the right place.

Meet Gabby

I’m here to support the unfurling of the fullest embodiment of you.

I’m here to help tether you to your inner and outer resources while talking about or feeling into your struggles.

I’m here to recognize and name with you the trauma caused by interpersonal and/or structural harm.

I’m here in solidarity with the parts of you that feel murky or cut off and are seeking clarity and transformation.

I’m here as a generative force to believe in the changes you want to make in your life.

I’m here to celebrate your insight, growth, and healing.

I meet you where you are in discovering new ways of belonging to yourself and feeling more ease connecting with others. My presence is straightforward, warm, and I invite the time you need to show up in therapy in your own way. My approach is informed by relational somatic healing, attachment theory, and I offer an insight oriented psychodynamic lens. I nurture an ongoing commitment to my healing journey and I bring a 25 year long career working to support those experiencing marginalization due to structural inequality, war, and forced migration both locally and globally.

I work with individuals, couples, and youth ages 10-18. Some of my areas of focus include -major life transitions, anxiety, depression, anger, chronic illness/pain, intimacy and communication, sexual trauma, early childhood developmental trauma, issues stemming from oppression and privilege, co-dependency, shame, postpartum depression, and issues relating to parenting/motherhood/birthing people and spiritual growth. I am an LGBTQ+, kink, and gender queer-affirming therapist. Therapy is offered online or in person in the Mission district in San Francisco.
