I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

Sometimes, anxiety and emotional pain can be difficult to put into words. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in certain patterns, or unsure of how to move forward—even when you know something needs to change. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s beneath the surface without fear of judgment.

I’m Abby, a bilingual therapist who works with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional challenges, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in connection, compassion, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping you build skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships. I believe that feeling truly heard and understood is an important part of the healing process.

My goal is to meet you where you are while gently challenging you to consider new perspectives, recognize patterns, and create meaningful change. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you’re looking for support in English or Spanish, I’m here to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and growth.

Soy Abby, una terapeuta bilingüe que trabaja con personas que enfrentan ansiedad, trauma, dificultades emocionales y transiciones de vida. Mi enfoque combina conexión, compasión y Terapia Dialéctica Conductual (DBT) para ayudarte a manejar tus emociones, fortalecer tus relaciones y crear cambios significativos. No tienes que tener todo resuelto para comenzar; ya sea en inglés o español, estoy aquí para acompañarte en tu camino hacia la sanación y el crecimiento.

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

Thank you for taking the first step in seeking help. Sometimes taking this first step is the hardest for most people to take, so congratulations! My hope is to provide you with a safe place to work on whatever symptoms or concerns you are currently dealing with. I have been in the field for over 15 years and have worked with an array of populations. My experience is in the areas of trauma, PTSD, ADHD, adolescents (at-risk youth), relationship issues, divorce, and law enforcement issues. In addition, I have experience working with veterans to provide a second opinion and/or assessment in support of their VA Disability claims.

As a military veteran, I also understand the expectations of the military lifestyle and the stress this places on family dynamics. My goal is work with your family to help build effective ways to manage both lifestyles without impeding the military mission.

Another unique population that I work with is law enforcement and first responders. Sometimes my purpose is to offer support and/or assistance with fitness for duty evaluations. Again, I commend you on taking the first step to a healthier you. I look forward to working with you and/or your family.

Hi, and welcome! I'm a therapist who supports folks looking to deepen their relationships, experience more fun in their lives, and reconnect with their identity. You might have tried therapy before, and still struggle with anxiety or depression, even after gaining more insight. Much like myself, many of my clients have an overcontrolled coping style. This overcontrolled perspective often comes with huge strengths in achieving ambitious goals, juggling a busy schedule, and privately coping with big feelings. We can celebrate where you excel and explore how this coping style might leave you feeling stuck, depleted, or burnt out.
