These are not easy times, and so many of us are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected in your relationships, or struggling in your career. Through it all, connection is what grounds us, and therapy is based on connection. Let’s figure out together where you are stuck, where you may have lost your way, and what gets in the way of warmth and closeness with the people who matter to you the most. During our time together, I will be present in an actively collaborative way as we figure out how to clear a path to the life you want.
I am a certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFCT) and have completed postgraduate training in couples and family therapy at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. I have also trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). All of this training provides the foundation for my work with both individuals and couples.
My years as an attorney in the high-stress corporate world also enable me to provide informed guidance on career stress and achieving positive career outcomes for professionals. My style is warm while emphasizing solutions. I am compassionately direct as I support clients in rethinking their narratives and creating more fulfillment in their lives.

I highly recommend Abby Strauss for individuals, couples and families. As a lawyer and therapist, she is deeply empathic, knowledgeable and insightful. She is trained in EFT, but uses many modalities to work effectively and encouragingly with all clients.
