As a clinical psychologist, I have over 30 yrs experience helping clients work through life's difficult challenges. I work with parents and children to address developmental and behavioral difficulties and to find solutions to the unique challenges of adolescence. I often work with young adults to help them manage transitions into independence and adult responsibilities. With adults, I facilitate their work toward relief from symptoms generated by psychological conditions or from traumatic events in their past.

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.

You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated by Maya Angelou.
