Hiya! I'm Abby, a trans clinician passionate about making space for queer and neurodivergent folks to feel seen, connected, and curious with themselves and others. You might find our sessions exploring favorite bands with songs that mean a lot to you or hyperfixations that bring you joy.   

My approach to counseling is guided by self-empowerment and embracing the person you are and the ways you’d like to foster a kinder relationship with yourself. Our work together will be tailored to the parts of you that you’d like to better understand and support. This may include deep exploration of sexuality, gender, spirituality, culture, and the many different experiences that create the “parts” of who we are. 

My space is anti-capitalist and fueled by radical self-acceptance.

I am at my core a trans empowerment clinician who has experience working from an intersectional lens to offer an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ folx. I work to decolonize therapy through consistent education from folx with lived experience to show up with intention for folx of different ability-types and folx who face marginalization.

I believe you're the expert of you, even if you don't know it right now.
