"Abby is a truly gifted family therapist with decades of experience helping children and families through their darkest days, and the courage to bring both her humanity and expertise to her sessions everyday. I got to know Abby over the course of a full-year intensive training program for helpers who support parents, and she has since become one of the colleagues that I trust most to go to for professional consultation about my own work with clients. The amazing work she is doing to help parents become the healers in their families is inspiring, and so needed in the world. Her demonstrated lifelong commitment and specialization in teaching parents new ways of understanding their children's most challenging behaviors, combined with her sensitivity and awareness that parents of children with big behaviors are seeking practical tools and strategies that actually work, make her one of my favorite clinicians to refer clients to. You and your family are in good hands with Abby!"

"Abby is an expert in strengthening family identity, fostering connections, enhancing communication, and cultivating a thriving family culture. With her extensive experience, she equips parents with effective tools to address challenging behaviors in their children, empowering them to navigate parenthood with confidence and love. I highly recommend connecting with a heart-centered practitioner who is passionate about seeing positive results."

"Abby is a natural at her job, she draws from a wealth of clinical and personal experience, and she continues to educate herself through ongoing training and certification. She takes a whole-family approach that is evidence-based, empowering and actually works! If you are a parent and wanting to make family life with your highly sensitive or gifted child more harmonious, call Abby. She knows her stuff and will equip you with the tools necessary to create a happier, healthier home."

"Abby cares deeply about ensuring the foundations for relationships between parents and kids is strong and meets fundamental needs that are oft looked over. She has a kind and intelligent methodology that is tangible, that honors how humans are built, from the ground up. She is a lifelong learner, with a wide swath of skills, that addresses ways of being close to kids, including kids that have extraordinary needs of one kind or another. I highly encourage working with her."

"You must be such an incredibly effective healer-especially boldened with how introspective, beautifully reflective, and committed to lifelong healing you are-even when it can be painful. 

Proud of you and the mended gaps you've manifested through this work, contributing to the increased levels of bliss and understanding within your direct family, as well as the quality of service you're able to consciously and subconsciously provide for your clients."

"Abby has the Three C's: compassion, curiosity, and commitment. She is a highly experienced, knowledgeable, and insightful family therapist who offers her clients the highest standards of practice. With her decades of experience in community, private practice, and in-home settings, she brings a unique set of skills and perspectives to her clients. Additionally, Abi integrates her knowledge of affective neurobiology into her work with kids and families in a beautiful way. If you're seeking a wonderful family therapist, she's the one!"

Abby offers a compassionate and transformative approach for families who find that traditional parenting methods are no longer effective—and may even be creating distance between them and their children. Drawing on her deep knowledge of neuroscience, she helps parents understand the brain-based systems behind emotional dysregulation, empowering them with insight and curiosity, rather than blame and shame.

More than just offering strategies, Abby works hard to understand each family’s unique dynamics and relational systems. She guides parents in building emotionally safe, connected relationships with their children, tailored to their specific needs and histories. Her work supports not only parenting challenges, but also healing from attachment wounds, early childhood trauma, co-parenting difficulties, and the unique needs of post-adoption families.

As a professional working in the same field, I wouldn’t hesitate to refer families to Abby. If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply wanting a more connected path forward, I highly recommend her. She is warm, insightful, and brings a truly empathic presence to the families she supports.
