Nature based. Animal assisted (horses). Holistic approaches. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been a part of the LifeStriders therapeutic team since 2014. My experience and interest lies in working with individuals, families, and children with goals including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, communication skills, ADD / ADHD, self confidence, coping skills, self advocacy, impulsivity, parenting, grief, stress management, anger management, emotional awareness and regulation, and behavioral issues.

Hello! I'm Abby. My counseling experience includes providing individual and group counseling for clients with depressive and/or anxious symptoms due to past trauma or current stressful situations and relationships. I enjoy working with individuals who seek ways to feel safe in their bodies and be empowered in their personal and professional relationships. My client focus includes adults and adolescents, LGTBQ+ identity related issues, mood disorders, substance use, developmental trauma, sexual trauma, polyamory, and kink relationships.

Do you feel like your life is passing you by without any direction? Are you unsure if your relationship will last because of all the fighting? Do you struggle with communicating with your family? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? I believe that relationships are the center of our lives and when we are accepting and compassionate to ourselves we can bring our best to our relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families, who may be struggling through anxiety, depression and grief.

As a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring over 18 years of passionate experience to my work in helping clients truly heal.  I've been a musician for over half of my life, and have performed locally and nationally, which has provided me with a genuine ability to connect with clients through creativity, depth, and authenticity.  I truly love working with adults, young adults, and teens through the process of change.  I have extensive experience in the substance use/addiction field, as well as mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, coping with life transitions, etc.

My ideal client is someone whom is struggling in life and motivated to seek help and make the changes necessary in their thoughts, beliefs or circumstances to get back into wellness. I enjoy working with teens. Most of my career has been with at risk youth. I also work with women's issues, addressing underlying causes of stress and overwhelm. I use Imago and Gottman approaches with couples. When working with men, we discuss the need for vulnerability and self-acceptance. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss can all be successfully addressed with psychotherapy.

It is really hard being a parent and caretaker of a young child. As a licensed professional counselor who specializes in work with babies, toddlers, children and their caregivers, I can help. I’m a strong advocate for infant mental health and have extensive knowledge and training to focus on caregiver attachment and relationships to heal trauma.

I specialize in helping motivated, insightful children and adults struggling with moving through feelings and emotions, desiring to better understand how their past has impacted them. Clients I work with are experiencing anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic disorders, resulting in disruption in most or all areas of their lives. Additionally, I specialize in working with clients separated from their birth parents and family, who experience complicated loss and grief.

Hi there! I'm a licensed counselor with a desire to help individuals become acutely aware of their worth and purpose in the world. Through an exploration of each individual’s unique psychosocial history and presenting circumstances, we collaboratively determine the evidenced-based treatment interventions that best cater to the client. I find value in incorporating a multi-systemic framework, helping clients identify how their various systems (family, friends, work, school, and community) contribute to presenting symptoms. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into sessions to the extent that one is comfortable.

Embarking on the journey of therapy is a significant and sometimes challenging decision. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or any other difficult thoughts or feelings, I am here to help. My goal is to provide a healing and nurturing environment where you can feel understood and supported. I can help you find the tools you need to manage your emotions, while also providing you with the guidance needed to find comfort and balance in your life.

You are not broken and in need of “fixing.” Rather, your early life, sense of belonging and experiences have influenced patterns and behaviors that brought you here. Change is within your reach. Whether you’re struggling with addiction or unresolved trauma; healing from domestic violence; enduring a relationship breakup; or concerned by your child’s mental health and behavioral issues, let’s work together on a positive path forward. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in addiction and substance abuse and certified in trauma and domestic violence therapy and as divorce and family mediator.

I work from a strength-based approach and believe all people already have everything they need already inside of them. I am passionate about working with people who are ready to take steps forward in their journey to heal. I work well with clients who are interested in getting curious about themselves and the way they move through the world. All my clients get to decide for themselves what they want out of this connection and what they want to work on. I am here to walk alongside you on our path to healing.

Do you want to take ownership over your life and regain your power? Are you ready to learn how to be vulnerable and find your inner strength? You are brilliant and resilient, so your story does not have to end the way it began! As a clinician, I believe it is important to meet clients where they are in their lives and assist individuals who have a vision of where they see themselves going. I want to be your copilot as you construct a new path for your life. If anger, anxiety, fear, your past, or depression are weighing you down, I want to help you carry your weight.

“We are all born so beautiful The greatest tragedy is being convinced we are not” - Rupi Kaur I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to reconnect with your unique beauty. Find your voice. Gain understanding and compassion. Create changes to embrace who you are at your core; individually and as a couple. Disconnection can look different in all of us. It can look like apathy, feeling hopeless, increased conflict with loved ones, and loss of your voice.

Thank you for having the courage to take this step in seeking some assistance. I salute you. My idea client would be someone who is at point in their life where they want to make some changes, but may be unsure of the process, and needs some guidance. No one has all the answers, but "Working together, we can create a better you!"

I work with adults, children, and families who hope to live life abundantly. During our work together, we will focus on improving quality of relationships with self and others. As we improve relational support, we will tie in core values and any spiritual beliefs to help encourage sustainable change. This process looks different for adults and children, but the heart of each human is the same- we hope to be loved, love others, and live life according to our values. Unfortunately, sometimes our painful past experiences create stress or other overwhelming feelings that hinder us from living life how we'd wish. That's where I come in.
