Abby is passionate about supporting men and women as they navigate life's difficulties, particularly in areas such as grief and loss, anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She takes a holistic approach to therapy, believing in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. Abby aims to create a strong, trusting therapeutic bond with each client, working collaboratively to foster healing, growth, and resilience.

As Abby embarks on her practicum/internship, she is eager to support individuals in a variety of ways, offering both empathy and evidence-based strategies tailored to each client's unique needs. She values the power of empathy, understanding, and practical guidance in facilitating meaningful change.

When she’s not studying or working with clients, Abby enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. As a family, they enjoy playing and watching sports, traveling, and exploring the outdoors. Abby also loves to read, hike, bake sourdough, and enjoy good food with friends whenever possible.
