how she works
Aware that therapy does not match a one-size-fits-all approach, Abi works hard to ensure each session is tailored to what you need. Beyond creating the space to express any presenting problems, her goal is to help you build your therapy tool box to take with you past her office. Abi works with you to master coping skills, mindfulness practices, and perspectives that will stay with you beyond your sessions with her.
With a strong sense of solution-focused practices, Abi will help you to pin-point your values and build a plan to reach your goals. Abi utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help restructure thought patterns and habits that may be keeping you from living the life you deserve. She prioritizes finding the perfect treatment plan to meet your needs and knows that no two sessions you have together will be the same.
