Accepting new clients! Hi, I'm Abbie. I'm a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) providing therapy to individuals ages 14+ in Washington, DC. I enjoy working with people of all ages, especially teens and young adults who may be exploring their identity and navigating life transitions. My goal is for therapy to be a vehicle to help get you to where you want to go. I believe strongly that therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach and trust that a client is the expert in their own life experiences. To this end, my approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to the individual wants and needs identified by each client.

My goal as a therapist is to help you understand and resolve the things that block you from happiness and emotional well-being. I work in a collaborative, interactive style that is both compassionate and challenging, and I ensure a safe and respectful atmosphere. I will work with you on practical solutions to immediate crises and problems; as well as understanding and changing maladaptive patterns of thinking, behaving, or feeling that stem from past experiences.

I am unique because I work with children and adults. I work with littles and support them to build stronger, healthier, and more attached connections with parents. I am passionate about working with adults that have courageously stepped forward to heal unresolved trauma. I have experience with how trauma impacts the whole self and remains stored in our very being. I see through a lens of parts of ourselves and support clients to learn to embody Self energy and build compassion relationships with their parts.

Saludos! Do you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism? I would love to connect with you. I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I work with high achieving college and graduate students, early and mid-career professionals, educators, and people in the healing professions who are looking to handle their harsh inner critic and break free from "imposter syndrome". I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from avoidant behaviors (e.g., procrastination) that hinder their ability to reach their goals.

My work with clients is grounded in, as Carl Jung said long ago, that "the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." No matter where you find yourself on this path to your true self (or you find yourself lost in the woods searching for the path itself), I am ready to support and empower you throughout your mental health journey.

I specialize in working with folks navigating current acute high stress incidents and past trauma from childhood and adult life. I have a particular specialty in working with international professionals working in high stress, high threat settings (international aide workers, journalists, medical & mental health professionals, activists, etc). I worked overseas for a decade and understand the unique stress of international life.

Are you navigating the intersection of being queer and neurodivergent in a world that doesn’t seem to have been built for you? Learning to love all the parts of yourself is so much more challenging when you’re surrounded by systems and structures that aren’t affirming or flexible. Many of us in these communities navigate issues such as sensory sensitivity, relationship struggles, chronic dysregulation, and executive dysfunction. As a queer neurodivergent person, I understand the complexities and unique challenges you may face. Compassion is at the center of my approach.
