Hey, I'm Gab!
Every time I ask a client to describe the best team they have ever been on -or what their dream team would be like- they always share the same thing.
They imagine being part of organization where they feel supported and where their presence, perspective, skills, and ideas are valued.
​
In these conditions, people thrive- and when individuals collectively thrive, so does the organization at large! But this is easier said than done.
​
Between day-to-day operations, scaling, and staffing challenges, it is easy for these less tangible characteristics to get put on the back burner. While this may work in the short-term, without the proper attention, burnout and turnover can set in and slowly eat away at all of the successes that have been made.
​
That's where I come in.
​
I specialize in supporting managers and organizations in building -or rebuilding- strong teams. I work with clients to identify and close gaps, foster healthy working relationships, and implement changes to increase employee satisfaction, team cohesion, and retention.
Often, I found myself using my therapist skillset within the workplace to create clarity, improve our team's culture, and mentor new managers- all in service of building a stronger team that is motivated to work towards organizational goals.
​
That is when I decided to align those interests into one career. Thus, Hey Gab Consulting was born!
My Approach
The therapist in me would describe my approach as person-centered, relational and solution-focused. This means I believe that:
-
Genuine human connection is fundamental to growth and
-
There is always a solution- we just need to find it!
​
While I will not be your therapist, this orientation will come through in our work together.
​
With each client -whether an individual, team, or organization- I first take time to listen and get a full picture of what is challenges you're facing. I will then analyze that information, present some themes I've observed, and invite you to co-create our next phase of work together.
​
After that, we get to work!

About Me
I have always been a problem solver and efficiency finder. Whether at work or in my personal life, I am energized by figuring out the root of an issue and identifying ways to move through it. This natural orientation led me down a two very different career paths.
I have spent the majority of my career working within the nonprofit sector- managing teams within the college access and education equity spaces. During that time, I also became a licensed mental health therapist-- launching my private practice in 2020. While completely different fields, both of these careers fueled different aspects of my passion: my desire to see tangible change and my belief in individuals' ability to grow.
