Hi, I’m Abby.

I believe people are capable of meaningful change, especially when they have the right support and a space where they can be honest about what’s really going on. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and figure out what you want to do differently.

I offer a warm, direct, and collaborative approach. I’ll meet you with curiosity and compassion, but I’m also not afraid to gently challenge you when something isn’t working. My goal is to create a space where you can feel understood, think differently, and make changes that actually fit your life. And yes, I believe there should be room for a little humor along the way.

Clinical Experience

I’ve worked with individuals and couples across private practice and academic settings, and I take an integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to the people in the room. My work with couples is primarily grounded in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, with attachment-based approaches, CBT, and ACT woven in as appropriate.

I have a particular interest in the intersection of relationships, intimacy, and neurodivergence. I work with couples navigating concerns such as mismatched desire, sexual connection, ADHD, autism, executive functioning, and the ways different brains and needs can impact a relationship.

I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical. We’ll look at the patterns underneath what’s bringing you in, build a better understanding of what each person needs, and work toward changes that feel realistic and sustainable, not just things that sound good in the therapy room.

Clinical Specialties

My areas of focus include couples and relationship concerns, intimacy and sexuality, neurodivergence, ADHD, attachment, and life transitions. I work with couples across relationship stages, including dating, premarital, cohabiting, and long-term relationships. Together, we can work on communication, emotional and physical connection, conflict, mismatched needs or desire, and the patterns that leave you feeling stuck.

I also offer Discernment Counseling, a short-term, structured approach for couples who are uncertain about the future of their relationship. Rather than focusing on fixing the relationship, discernment counseling helps each partner gain clarity about whether they want to pursue separation, maintain the status quo, or commit to doing the deeper work of couples therapy.
