Hello and welcome!
My name is Abby, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with children and adolescents ages 5-18. In a session with me, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can play, laugh, and work through life's challenges together.

I have experience supporting children and teens in both outpatient and inpatient therapy settings. My approach is person-centered, rooted in empathy and authenticity. I use a mix of evidence-based techniques, including: 

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), 

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 

• Expressive Arts 

I’ll tailor (or even gamify!) these strategies to meet your child’s needs and goals. I know that play is not only fun, it’s essential—it helps kids express themselves, process big feelings, and learn new coping skills without feeling like they're in a lecture. I often incorporate nature, art, music, and STEM activities into my therapy sessions to create a relaxed, engaging space for kids.

As a social worker, I am passionate about advocating for policies that foster inclusion, equity, and human dignity. When I’m not working, you can find me playing video games, cooking, making music, and exploring new places with my dog.

Your child may be a good fit for working with me if they are:

• Neurodivergent

• LGBTQIA+

• Experiencing anxiety or depression

• Experiencing grief/loss (of any kind)

• Experiencing new or chronic suicidal thoughts

• Going through life changes

• Struggling with peer relationships

• Having academic challenges

• Experiencing social isolation or difficulty connecting with others

I offer free 15-minute consultations and would love to chat to see if we’re a good fit!

I strive to provide a safe environment that will allow my clients the opportunity to learn, grow, develop, and strengthen their coping mechanisms in order to have the confidence to handle any life stressor or challenges
