Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello!
My name is Gabbi and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota. I have worked in a range of therapeutic settings including: in-home, school, and residential treatment centers. I work with a wide range of clients affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, substance abuse, bipolar, borderline personality disorder. I have also spent time working with parents on attachment and parenting skills. The clients I have worked with range in ages 2-75 and I have used individual, family and group therapy to help clients address their concerns.
I was born and raised in Minnesota! I attended undergrad at St. Catherine University where I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I then pursued my Masters degree at the University of St. Thomas. I graduated in 2017 with my Masters in Social Work.
My therapy style client centered, as you are the expert of your life, you know what works and what doesn’t. You have control over your treatment and we will go as in depth as you feel comfortable. I pull from a variety of models including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) where we will focus on how thoughts are connected to our behaviors, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where we focus on skills such as mindfulness and distress tolerance, as well as, Solution Focused Therapy, where we focus on the present and future and setting goals. I also use the CBT model and narrative therapy to help process trauma that clients have experienced. If you look at my schedule and the time you need is not available, message me and we can try and make something work!
Outside of work I enjoy spending time outdoors, working out and hanging out with my family.
I look forward to working with you!

Her clinical work has spanned a wide age range, from children as young as 2 to older adults up to 75, using individual, family, and group formats to address clients’ concerns. Gabbi’s approach is client-centered – she views each person as the expert on their own life and offers collaborative, paced care that goes as deep as the client feels comfortable exploring.
She draws from several therapeutic models to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to examine links between thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to develop skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance, solution-focused therapy to set present-focused goals, and narrative techniques alongside CBT to process trauma.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys spending time outdoors, exercising, and being with her family. She looks forward to working with people who seek support.
For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. This makes virtual care a viable option for people seeking help with everyday mental health challenges.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that best fits their needs and schedule, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to keep appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and convenient way to engage in consistent, goal-oriented work with a qualified clinician.
