About Me
I'm Abigail, a Counselor-in-Training and therapy intern currently pursuing my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University.
Many people struggle to ask for help because it feels intimidating or vulnerable. On top of that, they often don’t know where to begin, which adds another layer of stress and overwhelm. This hesitation can leave them feeling stuck, isolated, or anxious even when they know they need support.
My Approach
I use a blend of psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients better understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Together, we explore the deeper influences behind what you're feeling and experiencing—and identify effective ways to cope, grow, and heal.
What You Can Expect
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and free of judgment—a space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. Through our work, you’ll gain greater insight into your patterns, relationships, and inner life, paving the way for meaningful, lasting change.
Over the past five years, I’ve supported individuals across a wide range of mental and behavioral health settings, including:
Emerson Hospital Behavioral Health Unit
Blue Ridge Behavioral Health
Catawba Hospital
I have experience working with clients navigating challenges related to:
Depression & anxiety
Trauma
Mood disorders
Psychotic disorders
Personality disorders
Traumatic brain injuries
No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and care.
More than just my work:
1. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
2. I love to travel and experience new cultures and cuisines firsthand
3. I rediscovered a childhood love for reading a few years ago and it has become my favorite hobby
