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.
I, like many others, have struggled with being a part of marginalized groups and did not receive adequate care for my needs from providers. I was inspired to become someone whose passion is to consistently grow and learn about how I can do better for my clients.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

I’m an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s driving your anxiety or stress, and build practical skills to help you feel more grounded and connected.

I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, broken relationships, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, financial recklessness, and gambling. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

If you are looking for a therapist, congrats on taking a huge step towards self-improvement. The truth is that, life can be challenging and relationships can become difficult to manage. Often, we find that past traumas begin to effect our present through unhealthy coping, poor self-esteem and pattens of negative thinking. The past informs our future but it does not need to control it.
As a therapist, I offer a whole-person approach that integrates mind, body and soul. Clients would say that I am easy to talk to and provide a non-judgmental space.
