About Abbey
If you're looking for an affirming and empowering space to explore your emotions and identities, I'm here to help. I specialize in helping young adults embrace their identities, improve their relationships, regulate their emotions, and cope with the stress and anxiety of work and school. I'm especially passionate about working with chronically ill clients and LGBTQ+ clients.
If you think we might be a good fit for you, please reach out via phone or email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This is our chance to get to know each other before you commit to therapy. I’ll ask you about yourself, what brings you here, and what you’re looking for in a therapist. Then you’ll have some time to ask me anything.
More background
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My approach is all about striking a balance between accepting you exactly as you are while also empowering you to grow and change. In practice, that means I'll offer a lot of validation and highlight your strengths and successes, and I’ll also challenge you when needed and teach practical skills to help you move toward your goals.
I draw from person-centered therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, and DBT-informed therapy to help you thrive.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
During our first couple of sessions, we'll work together to set concrete goals. Throughout therapy, we'll refer back to these goals to measure your progress, and we'll update them as we go. To me, success means achieving the goals you created for yourself and being able to maintain your progress even after therapy ends.
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
Authenticity is a core part of the therapeutic relationship. When I show up as my genuine self, it creates space for you to do the same. That shared authenticity helps build mutual trust and a real sense of connection. Sometimes, it might mean we experience very human moments of awkwardness or discomfort together. I find that those authentic interactions tend to lead to new insights and greater confidence.
Work history
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Kansas with a master's degree in counseling psychology from the University of Kansas. I'm receiving clinical supervision from Gina Behm, LCPC-S. I’ve been part of Blue Spruce Counseling—an empowering mental health collective—since July 2023. Before that, I worked as a therapy intern at the DBT Center of Lawrence, where I was trained in evidence-based therapy for emotion dysregulation.
