About My Clients
Abby's clients are eager to grow in their bodymind awareness, and understand that humans are socialized, and who they are has been effected since before birth by macro systems at play.
My Background and Approach
Abby uses a trauma-informed lens with each client, and the modalities they use include: motivational interviewing, mindfulness, meditation, somatic experiencing, family systems and dialectical behavioral therapy. That being said, the key to effective therapy is a nonjudgemental, secure relationship between the client and clinician. Abby uses an abolitionist approach to therapy, which means they view individuals as shaped by the overlapping, violent “isms” of our society: White supremacy, anti-Blackness, capitalism, anti-fatness, homophobia, transphobia, and others. They believe that understanding systemic oppression emboldens us to build healing practices on a smaller scale: in our personal lives and communities. Abby earned their Masters of Social Work at Columbia School of Social Work and her BSEd in Human Development and Psychological Services.
