I am passionate about helping people develop healthy relationships in all facets of their lives. My clients will develop the tools to help them to achieve significant change and personal growth.

My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

Are you looking for someone to understand and be there for the teen or young adult in your life? Hi, I am Abba. I am friendly, encouraging, and compassionate. I see clients 12 and up experiencing difficulties at school and/or in their family settings. I spend a lot of time working with children and teens in various settings, providing me with a holistic picture of the daily challenges children and teens face. My passion is to help teens/young adults feel that they have someone who understands them and is in their corner as they navigate the complexities of the crucial developmental years.

The hardest part of overcoming a challenge is knowing where to start. In counseling, we can discover together what is getting in the way of living your best life. Whether you're struggling to manage emotions (e.g. anxiety, sadness), keep up with work/school, master your relationship with technology, or navigate recent life transitions, it can feel overwhelming at times to go it alone! I will work with you to identify your "stuck points", collaboratively create a plan to address the areas you want to work on, and support you in replacing approaches that don't work with ones that do. Change is hard but worth the effort!

I have been helping individuals and couples work through difficult issues in order to have a more fulfilling life for over fifteen years. Having been trained to work with people across the lifespan has enabled me to integrate an understanding of the origins, development and resolution of behavior and relationship patterns which are presently holding the client back from important accomplishments or feelings of well-being in their lives, even though these patterns may very well have historically originated out of a functional need.

I've aided middle schoolers, adolescents and people in their 20's/30s to transition from angry and confused to calmer and empowered. My goal is to get real work done, but also have fun along the way.

Many of us don't know where to begin at the moment we realize we need help or simply become interested in exploring our lives and relationships. We may hear about many different treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, etc.) and feel confused about what "type" of therapist we should meet with. I simplify all of this by being straight-forward, down-to-earth, and adept at helping you use the best and most effective components of every modality available. Within our first meeting you will have a better understanding of yourself and what you want to manifest in your life.
