Parenthood can be blissful and full of love. It can be an immediate bond and bring families together. It can also be scary, traumatic and isolating. Every journey from trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum parenthood has a story. I support individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, are overstimulated, or stuck in reactive cycles. You do not have to suffer in silence. You are not alone.

Hi, I’m Anitalyn (like Anita and Lyn put together into one word). I’m so glad you stopped by! I specialize in helping people cope with major life stressors, and even minor life stressors. Adjustment on any level can be really hard. My clients should leave my session feeling better about themselves and their lives, even if sometimes that means having to think about things in a way that can be hard. No matter what, every client should always feel valued and worthy. My style as a therapist is very down-to-earth, very focused on honoring the person you already are. Each session will very likely also include a poodle.

I believe therapy is a tool to disrupt patterns that can keep us from what we're seeking, and can help us form an improved relationship with ourselves and others. I would love to support you in your therapeutic process!
In our work together, I will get to know you at the pace you are most comfortable with and approach you with warmth, non-judgment, and curiosity. Since being a person can be complicated and confusing, healing and growth can feel non-linear, but that doesn't mean we aren't making progress. I hope our sessions together can highlight your strengths, sense of purpose, and meaning and leave you feeling more hopeful.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Abigail and I'm a queer, neurodivergent therapist who strives to create a safe and comfortable space for therapy. I work with both adolescents and adults and specialize in working with complex trauma, queer individuals, neurodivergent individuals, those experiencing chronic illness, mood disorders, as well as chronic suicidality.

Sometimes when we are struggling, what we really need is someone to be present while we experience parts of our selves and share thoughts and memories that we fear. And if that someone can show love and illuminate what we struggle to make sense of, then the work is unfolding. The healing is happening. I hope that I can be a part of that healing for you.

You’re the one everyone relies on. You handle things. You keep it together. But lately you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering how long you can keep carrying it all.
I help thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel stuck in burnout, relationship stress, or major life transitions find clarity, boundaries, and relief. I also help clients work on accepting all parts of themselves as I believe self growth is rooted in self compassion and acceptance rather than fixing. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, structured, and practical, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and skills they can use.
