Meet Abigail

With over 12 years of professional experience, I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, and anxiety using evidence-based practices proven to be effective. Are you struggling to get out of bed in the morning? Are you finding it harder and harder to get through the day? You are not alone. Depression and anxiety affect an estimated 792 million people across the globe. Depression can come in many forms but it is treatable. Remission is possible with the right tools and support. We can work together to build the skills necessary not only to survive but to thrive in a healthier and happier version of you! My approach is to provide a safe space where there we can engage in collaborative goal-setting. I will empower you to manage your mental health with freedom and ease.
