Meet Gabrielle “Gabby” Pampu

Are you the person everyone leans on, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in the same painful patterns? You may understand why you feel this way and still have no idea how to change it, because self-awareness alone does not automatically fix everything. You might overthink relationships, fear disappointing people, struggle to trust yourself, or feel like your body is always bracing for something. The ways you learned to survive make sense, and you do not have to untangle them alone. I work with individuals navigating trauma, high-conflict relationships/family patterns, as well as life transitions.

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. You can expect a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood, without pressure to heal on someone else’s timeline. I use humor, honest feedback, and curiosity instead of criticism. No one has ever bullied themselves into feeling better, although many of us have given it a very committed try!

As an MSW clinician trained in psychology, criminal justice, trauma, and homicide advocacy, I bring clinical and personal experience; I know what it’s like to be on the other side of therapy. At your pace, we’ll explore your patterns and what your body holds, build grounding and self-trust, and create meaningful change. You can be scared and live anyway!
