About Abby
Abby has loved her transition into private practice so she can facilitate counseling in a way that helps her tap into all the skills she has developed thus far as a professional counselor. Her goal is to work with the client meeting them where they are, working with them to identify what they want to accomplish in therapy, and working collaboratively with them to meet those goals. This can include individual and family therapy to help patients develop more fulfilling lives and develop closer relationships with their loved ones. Abby sees patients in office sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. In her private time, Abby enjoys relaxing with her friends, family, husband, and their daughter. Abby has some immediate openings for new patients at this time so reach out to schedule!
