I’m Abigail, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their emotional and relational challenges. In our sessions, I create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, improve communication, and develop healthier coping strategies. My approach is client-centered and integrative, utilizing various therapeutic methods to empower you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. I’m here to guide you in achieving a deeper understanding of yourself and fostering stronger connections with those around you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. We will start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and any specific challenges you’re facing. I’ll gather some background information about you and your experiences to better understand your unique situation. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process. Together, we’ll outline your goals for therapy and begin to explore the steps we can take to help you achieve them. My aim is to ensure you leave the session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the journey ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider include my empathetic listening skills and ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves. I prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships, which fosters trust and openness. Additionally, my integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, utilizing various evidence-based methods to promote growth and healing.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their emotional distress. By guiding clients through structured exercises, I assist them in recognizing how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. This approach empowers clients to develop healthier coping strategies and make positive changes in their lives. I emphasize a collaborative environment, ensuring clients feel supported and engaged in their healing journey. Ultimately, my goal is to equip clients with practical tools they can use beyond our sessions to foster long-term resilience and well-being.

Structural Family Therapy

I utilize Structural Family Therapy to understand and address the dynamics within families. This approach focuses on the organization of the family system, identifying patterns of interaction that may contribute to dysfunction. By mapping out family structures and hierarchies, I help clients see how these dynamics affect their relationships and individual behaviors. I work collaboratively with families to establish healthier patterns of communication and interaction, fostering stronger connections. This method empowers families to create a more supportive environment, enhancing their ability to navigate challenges together and promoting overall well-being.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients explore and understand their emotional responses within relationships. This approach emphasizes the importance of attachment and emotional bonds, allowing individuals and couples to identify and express their feelings more openly. I guide clients through structured conversations to enhance emotional awareness and foster deeper connections with their partners or family members. By working on emotional accessibility and responsiveness, EFT helps clients break negative cycles of interaction, promoting healing and stronger relational ties. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to process their emotions and cultivate secure attachments, leading to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
