Specialized Expertise
Areas of Focus
Abby specializes in trauma-informed care, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and nervous system regulation. She is passionate about supporting individuals navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, and the many transitions that accompany parenthood.
Supporting Life Transitions
She also enjoys working with emerging adults as they navigate identity development, relationships, life transitions, and increasing independence. Abby helps clients build self-awareness, confidence, and resilience while creating meaningful and lasting change.
Therapeutic Approach
Drawing from EMDR, mindfulness, attachment-based, and client-centered approaches, Abby tailors treatment to each client’s needs through a lens of nervous system awareness and self-regulation.
A Compassionate and Attuned Approach
Abby’s therapeutic style is calm, welcoming, and deeply empathetic. She meets clients where they are, walking alongside them as they process their experiences and move toward clarity, healing, and lasting change. Abby sees therapy as a collaborative journey, one built on mutual trust, curiosity, and emotional attunement.
She recognizes how trauma can shape not only how we feel, but how we connect with ourselves and others. That’s why she emphasizes regulation, compassion, and co-regulation throughout the therapy process, helping clients learn how to feel safe in their bodies and in their relationships.
Philosophy and Personal Touch
Abby values authenticity, inclusivity, and honoring the whole person. She strives to create an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported, especially during vulnerable seasons of life. She believes healing is not linear and continually expands her knowledge in trauma, perinatal mental health, and nervous system science to provide thoughtful, effective care.
When Abby is not supporting clients, she finds joy in motherhood, spending time outdoors, and making memories with her family and loved ones.
