Get to know Abigail!

👋 What inspired you to work with neurodivergent clients?
I have always wanted to be a helper, in any capacity I could. Starting out in the ABA realm, it became more and more clear to me that I felt called to grow alongside these special and amazing individuals on the neurodivergent spectrum. Their individualized strengths and experiences have always blown me away and getting to work here is a blessing I never want to forget!

🩵 How would you describe your therapy style?
I would say my style is “uber warm, comforting, and supportive☺️” Sometimes my clients and I have to have some tough discussions or face some tough things but I always prioritize the warmth part, even when the topic might be tough!

☀️ How do you recharge and practice self care?
Self care is a continuous learning curve for all of us I think but I for sure drink lots of coffee, some may say too much 😅, and read lots of books and snuggle my littles as often as I can!

💬 What’s something clients have told you they appreciate about you?
The most honoring feedback I have received has been my care for my clients, for a parent to thank you for caring for their child is something that you will never tire of hearing and is just such an honor.

🌈 What’s a core value that guides your work as a therapist?
Something I always want to cling to as a therapist is respect and empathy. We can all come from different places and have different views but still respect one another!

🛋️ What’s something in your office that brings you joy?
I love, love, love my office- my eclectic zebra chairs and disco cowgirl prints bring me such joy😜
