HELLO, I’M ABBEY!

Welcome to my practice. I’m so happy you’re here and honored to join you on your therapeutic journey. If you’re looking for a therapist who is honest and direct, while also warm, genuine, and deeply invested in your growth, we’ll likely be a great fit. I value transparency. As therapists, we ask you to bring vulnerability into the room — it only feels fair that I show up with that same openness and authenticity. I will always meet you where you are, and at times, gently challenge you to see if you’re ready to take one step further.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, ages 5 and up. Clients come to me for many different reasons. Some of the areas I focus on include supporting big-feeling kids, navigating life transitions (for children, teens, and adults), sports and performance-related therapy, trauma work, couples work (both short- and long-term), teens and adults struggling with addiction, and working with women & men who have experienced narcissistic relationship dynamics.

My approach is rooted in the belief that the problem is the problem — the person is not the problem. This perspective comes from a Narrative Therapy lens. Narrative therapy explores the dominant problem stories in our lives and helps identify alternative stories — the moments where the problem is less powerful or not present at all — so we can strengthen and expand those healthier narratives. Alongside this, I bring a strong humanistic foundation and incorporate EMDR when working through trauma, helping clients process and move forward in a grounded and meaningful way.

Im happy you’re here and grateful to walk along side you in therapy.

Comprehensive Therapy Services

  • Individual Therapy

    I provide individual therapy to help clients navigate life’s challenges, deepen self-understanding, and build lasting emotional resilience.I aim to support my clients in building autonomy by walking alongside them as a compassionate, conversational partner—never the expert on their life, but a collaborator in their growth.

  • Child and Teen Therapy

    I offer child and teen therapy tailored to support emotional growth, build resilience, and help young people navigate the challenges of growing up with compassion and confidence. I meet each client exactly where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and relationally—to provide personalized support that honors their unique needs and pace weather that is talk therapy or play therapy!

  • Couples and Family Therapy

    I provide couples and family therapy through a relational lens, helping clients navigate conflict, strengthen connection, and build healthier patterns of communication. As a relational therapist, I focus on the dynamics between people—not just within them—so healing can happen in the relationships that matter most.

  • EMDR

    I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful, evidence-based approach to help process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess painful memories in a safe, structured way—without needing to go into extensive detail. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by past events, EMDR could be a transformative step forward.

  • Sports Therapy

    I offer sports therapy is designed to support both the physical and mental demands of athletic life. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing performance pressure, or working toward your next goal, we offer personalized care to help you move, heal, and compete with confidence.

  • Ocean Therapy

    I offer Ocean Therapy sessions that take place outdoors, using the calming power of the ocean to support emotional regulation, connection, and healing. Being in nature creates space for movement, reflection, and a grounded therapeutic experience outside the traditional office setting.

  • Trauma Therapy

    Unresolved trauma can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. I offer a safe, compassionate space to gently explore and heal from trauma—whether it stems from a single event or years of chronic stress. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and parts work, we’ll work at your pace to reduce distress, build resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self.
